Default kinda broke my raditor...

Well Yesterday I mangaed to break my radaitor. I was installing my headers and just tighting up all the bolts and my wrench happened to slip of and smashed right into the overflow hose, it broke the little plastic piece coming out on the radaitor and snapped it right off.Any one have any ideas for a quick fix?

JB Weld will work temporarily. You will have to replace the radiator soon.

Plastic weld, or possibly heat-resistant epoxy.
