Default Cooling system help

Does anyone know what the inside diameter of the coolant hose for the radiator is? Also what the temperature is for the thermostat is?

Is this the one you need? https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...ft/4d0121101d/
ECS is expensive but they have most of what is needed to keep our old girls running...even if i buy the part from someone cheaper since i live far from the US.

I don't need to buy a hose. I just need to know what the inside diameter size is. Why I need to know this is because (I posted about this in someone else's thread) my D2 had the mechanical fan swapped out for a electrical fan but it wasn't wired up to automatically turn on. Can it be wired up to turn on automatically when it reaches a certain temp? If so, how do I go about doing that? Also my stock small electric fan runs all the time. I'm guessing this isn't suppose to? I have to manually turn on that fan when my coolant gauge starts to read hot. With it being hot outside now, a few times I have forgotten to turn that fan on when my temp gauge reads high. Not good! Now I just leave that fan on so I don't forget. I don't want to ruin the engine. I just rather buy a set up like this so it will turn on/off the electrical fan automatically.

So that's why I also need to know what the temperature the thermostat opens at.
