I put up a thread on CF that has taken a bit of a twist since my initial questions. The founder of DeWitts radiator, Tom DeWitt jumped into the middle of discussion and said that due that "commercial available tubing is sold in inch" sizes rather than metric, the top hose connection is larger than our metric hoses, and they decided to erring on the side of a snug fit.
I've read that most people have had no problems for years with their hoses so I wonder if this is a recent modification due to supply chain?
I've seen that some people had no problem attaching their hoses on the top but I simply had a hell of a time. I have a set of silicone hoses from Jerry's (which have been perfect) and they couldn't (or I don't know how) be stretches enough to fit.
