I broke my radiator!!

[Ron]

I am not sure how I managed to do this, but I broke the nipple off of the radiator at the area where the little radiator cap is that comes off the left side. It goes from the radiator to the coolant tank. It appears that the nipple pulled out of the radiator. Does anyone know if this is repairable by a radiator shop? I sure as hell can't afford a new radiator right now!

Sounds like the overflow outlet - yeah take it to a radiator shop - they have really good epoxy glues etc or they could weld it back on.

Hi-temp JB-Weld may fix it. It has fixed radiator leaks for me before now.

I would think that a good radiator repair shop should be able to fix it though.

This is what happens when you tweak a nipple to hard...silly boy!! Ask the wife, she'll explain everything!
