Needs pics of your Coolant Re-Route Route

I picked these up last night. The 7" hose with the 2 90* bends perfectly goes around the charge pipe but I have to connect the two hoses. The pipe is a 6" pipe from the plumbing section at Lowe's and is threaded on each end.
The end that will go into the M-Tuned hose should go in far enough that it shouldn't pose a problem with a couple of clamps on it. What I need to figure out how to do is flare or bead the other end (preferably both ends, really) without access to a welder. I'm thinking that the threaded portions might provide enough grip to keep the whole thing from leaking or coming apart, but I'd really like some sort of flare or bead for peace of mind.
Ultimately I may end up buying a Blox or Mishimoto inline coolant temp sender piece to join the hoses.

It looks more secure and probably a little nicer. I could even throw a temp sensor in there for the MegaSquirt - though it won't see any cold water ever - or just plug it.

I used a 1.6 upper water neck for mine. I put a plug in the fitting on the top and cut the fitting down as much as I could to get clearance between the reroute and firewall. I then put the temperature sensor into the spacer and was able to use the setup with standard 1.6 coils mounted onto a 1.8 via the fm adapter.

noob, that's the oem coolant sensor. then a secondary coolant sensor for his gauge.
pretty sure I had him remove the lower barb, he was going to use that for the heater core return. Bu ti had him return back to in front of the water pump.

I have at the back of my engine 3 coolant temp sensors. 1 is the OEM sensor that is 2 wire and goes to the stock ecu/MS. The second one is a single little prong that goes to the coolant gauge in my gauge cluster, I believe this is actually in my head, not in the space. Then my third sensor goes to my VEI oil/coolant temp gauge.
