Friend at work has a '92 XJ, 4.0, with a plastic tanked radiator. The filler neck is plastic and has on it a molded fitting for the coolant overflow hose. The fitting is partially broken off and there is about 3/16" sticking out. This is barely enough contact area for the hose clamp to bite into to hold the hose on.
Has anyone had a problem with this part breaking off and how did you resolve it? I'm thinking about sleeving it somehow or adding a fitting after drilling out the hole and removing the broken part. Replacing the radiator is an option but there is nothing wrong with the existing one, except for the above problem.
Any bright ideas?
