Coolant Reservoir bottom neck broken

I had enough neck left to slide the clamp up when the infamous radiator neck
broke, but not this time.  The neck on the bottom of the coolant reservoir
broke off flush with the reservoir.  There's a stainless sleeve in the
broken end. It stuck out past the end of the plastic stump about 1/4 inch.
If it had been fully in the neck it would've prevented this break.  I've
shoved it back in and a little more, so it will greatly help gluing the
thing back together, and strengthen the joint.  I'm planning to use
superglue, and two-step epoxy around the joint.  Any BTDT?

Thanks,

p.s.
new, local e-address, no more hotmail!  No more military reserves, so I'm
finally home at least half the time.  Perhaps more time for the q-car and
list.
