Re: radiator neck revisited

[Richard Beels <beels@technologist.com>]

Oh, I don't know about that.  On my CRX, the air inlet hose is connected to
the radiator.  Someone leaned on the hose and cracked it off the radiator
one day and I repaired it with plain old Loctite epoxy knead-n-stuff stick.
 Held up for two years.  Then I stuffed the car into a pickup truck and
replaced the radiator (but the epoxy still held).  As far as using the
epoxy as a strucutural adhesive rather than a patch, I don't know.
Personally, I would try something with a bit more flex than epoxy.
