broke spout on radiator

hi, somehow I have managed to break the spout that goes for the intake to the radiator. Was wondering if this has happened to anyone and what did they do or if anybody has any ideas on how to fix it. Only thing I know is to buy a new radiator.

Thanks for the help
Josh

If its the plastic part that I think it is, its time for a new rad.

I new radiator isn't too expensive. I got one for $129 and looks identical to the factory piece.

Re: broke spout on radiator

I did the same thing to mine taking off a transmission line. I took a drill bit and drilled a nice round hole and tapped it with a pipe thread tap. I got a brass fitting with a barbed end about the same size as the original tube, put some sealant on threads and carefully screwed it in to place. This has held up for several years now. Good Luck.
