Would the tightened radiator hose hold it in a specific place? Hmmm. . .
Might be worth a shot. I haven't looked that closely at the parts to know if feasible or not. My build isn't here right now (at the painter) plus it's full of antifreeze so nothing is coming apart anyway. I would suggest only modifying the hose assembly though vs. the fitting on the engine. Hose is pretty easily replaced. I would sure try to figure out something vs. clamping a hose over the engine fitting.
