On the basis that Jubilee clips are ~10mm wide, the clip would sit almost perfectly between the two swages that way.
Failing that, make hose tails from the 10mm hose in the kit to fit on the cooler then reduce to 8mm bore with the reducers and a couple of lengths of 8mm rubber hose.
There are other reducers (metal) available but the plastic ones are good for 140C so should be fine on the ATF cooler circuit. Mine runs at about 80-85C after a long, hot hard run on a hot day so is certainly ok for the 827 and i suspect if you have a look at the other products in the same nature from the same seller, there might be some with 8mm hose stubs so the reducers wouldn't be necessary.

No, I don't have a flaring kit. I'll give it some thought and come up with a scheme to connect the pipes.
I like this idea, it will suit the RB well.
Stay safe,
Alan
