mm - so inadequate is the verdict.

No, not at all!! you've just got to know the capabilities of the hose, and know that its fittings are compatable - the model/design that is specified by the manufacturer for that model hose.
these push on/socketless fittings are good for the hoses pressure limit, and you don't have as much chance of failure as from the socket type/multi-piece fittings from a bad install.
having a swivel fitting on one end is nice.
if these fittings DON'T have enough flat space for the clamp between the last barb and the shoulder, then you should NOT be them. a clamp over the fitting barbs or bead will not seal very well.
any use of hard lines has GOT TO BE to something mounted as solid as possible, and i think should be avoided, unless its something like was on the BMC A & B engines - Spridget & MGA/B & MGTD - short & solid & well made.
bypass oil cooler systems are almost a complete waste of time, but if its got one from the factory, or you get one for free, it's better then nothing, if you NEED it. my AE86 4AG cooler is covered up 6 months of the year to keep its heat up.
