tb bypass issues

i was told i coul duse about 2 ft of 5/16 rubber hose and clamps instead of the 15 dollar bmr kit for the throttle body by pass mod. seems like the 5/16 hose is too small for the radiator and too large for the T connection. if i clamp it tight enough to try to seal it, to me it looks like it will have a small hole for coolant to leak out. could i just plug this with rtv sealant? or what?

Thanks guys
Travis
