Radiator connection broken

Just had the plastic connection where the top hose connects to the radiator break on me... Do I need to replace my entire radiator? or is there a fix? besides Duct Tape (ha ha).

Any suggestions would be great

93 2+2 N/A

Thanks

Try some JB Weld, that stuff works pretty good. Maybe even some epoxy or fiberglass resin.

Wait, are you talking about one of the main passageways for the water in the radiator? That one might be fatal.

It's fatal. JB weld might work temporarily. Time for an all aluminum koyo or howe.

Any recommendations on where to order one? I have an order in with Z1 Motorsports and could probably add that to the list, but if there's a better place on the web, I'd like to know. Courtesy parts is "WAY" too expensive, so please don't recommend them.

Thanks,

Fatal,

Order a new triple core from SGP or Z1, I would never suggest Courtesy.

Dropped one of those in my baby, the temps are nice and steady even in Houston where dead stop traffic and 110+ temps on the road and the needle never moves like it was with stock cooling.
