Default Volvo 1257466 NLA heater hose

Above mentioned heater hose started dripping coolant constantly (when engine running)...so...Homemade solution got installed today, I hope it`s not too `jerry-built`... (?)
Thicker hose (upper radiator hose side) is 3/4 ID, thinner hose (coldstart device side) is 1/2 ID. They are connected at middle by a copper junction (3/4 to 1/2 1-piece copper reducer used with 1.5 inch of 1/2 pipe soldered into it.
Swedish ABA clamps... BUT THE PIPES are totally straight&smooth--> I know the best would be to ROLL BEAD the tube!!
RIGHT? (creating an edge so hoses wouldn`t have any chance of sliding off)
