ok so my radiator hose was rubbing against my serpentine belt, the hose that goes to the heads. Well i just pulled on it for 10 minutes after loosening the metal clips that hold it. Well the little nippple that comes out of the radiator broke off. Now my question is do i have to get another radiator or can i super glue the broken nipple back on? i was worroed about heat etc... should i get a used stock one for cheap, which i can or should i buy the SLP heavy duty one?

try using some epoxy just make sure you clean you clean the area up very good and that none of the epoxy goes into the nipple area.Let it dry over night.good luck

I ran into the same problem once. I just tapped the hole out and threaded a brass NPT hose barb into it with some epoxy on the threads for good measure. Worked great.
