Maybe try drilling out the location where it goes and tapping it 1/4" NPT, then using a pipe to hose barb fitting.</TD></TR></TABLE>
Very smart idea. Why dont you find ur old rad. and use it while the alum. is being fixed?

Re: (Hella_JDM)
JB won't hold it since they use a ferrous metal base. The aluminum expands twice as much when hot and the JB weld just flakes off. You can probably use silver solder since it melts at a slightly higher temp than lead solder. I don't think that the radiator would get hot enough the melt the solder anyways. It's worth a try!
