radiator repair question

[waldick]

My 97 MTX contour hit a deer. In the process the passenger side headlight assembly got trashed as well as the hood. Anyway, it also pushed the radiator support back and caused the small top radiator hose connection to break off. I'm loking for some way to fix that without replacing the whole radiator and if possible not even removing it. I was thinking of somethig threaded to screw into the place where the other tube broke off...

Any ideas ?

Other than that the car is fine...

Just replace the radiator. You won't find another satisfactory answer.

i went to the local radiator shop today and the guy told me it would be no problem for him to fix it....$20...

seems like a deal unless someone has had some bad experience with repairs like this...?

If he can fix it and it will hold, then go for it.
