Default Lower radiator hose

So I have a griffin radiator mounted vertical and I bought the stock lower hose for 99 LS1 and it does not fit on the radiator side. Its to small Will fit on the inside of the radiator... What are you guys using or am I missing something here?

not sure what your working on, but sounds like you have a 1 1/2" hose, and a 1 3/4" outlet on the radiator-you could have your rad changed to a 1 1/2",
i think if you had room, Jegs or Summit has an adapter nipple that might work,
or run through some diff hoses at the auto parts store-you can get the thermostat housings in 1 1/2 or 1 3/4 to help

I am doing front mount TC-78 and I liked the idea of running braided line b/c of the heat of the turbo. And plus it looks a lot nicer on a show car. I have that same radiator and wanted to do the exact same thing he did... Thanks for the ideas!
