I repaired my broken radiator neck with a piece of copper pipe epoxied into
the remaining opening.  It held up for several months while I collected
stuff for the complete replacement of the cooling crankcase breather
systems I did last fall as part of  the timing belt renewal.  I used OEM
radiators from Scott Mockry.  I figured the first set of radiators lasted a
dozen years, so what's wrong with that?
