[RADIATOR] Problem / Question

[vince@performancecarstereo.com (Vince Royer)]

I remember that happened on my first 8V's radiator.  The nipple only half
broke off. I think it breaks because the hose tugs on it a little bit. I had
zap strapped the hose up towards the rad somehow to stop it from pulling,
and I was able to get away with only half of the nipple, with no more
problems. I don't recall how exactly it was strapped, maybe one strap around
the hose, and the other pulling the first strap towards the rad? something
like that.   It's probably a good idea if your nipple will be held on by JB
weld.

Clean up the broken piece and the radiator with denatured alchol, then with
nail polish remover. Then take the part and put a thin layer of JBweld on
the break surface, place it back on. The take the rest of the mixed up JB
weld and smear it on the outside surface area of the crack, and let dry
24hours 48 if you have time. Then drive I did this once and drove it until I
sold the car and as far as I know it it still good.

I broke the plastic overflow nipple off of my radiator! I either have to
use a 16v radiator hose or fix the radiator. My question is this...Can I
screw in a hollow insert piece of pipe fitting into the hole and seal it
somehow? Basically how would I repair this nonsense?
