I am tempted to cut off the end with the lip and keep the end with the shoulder since I do not want to put any more pressure on the aluminum than I need to. Comments?
Which way did you end up going ? And where did you get that tube ?

The shoulder is to keep the hose & clamp from coming off pretty much like the one on the water pump, but once you put the water pump on there is no way the hose can go anywhere.
