Upper Radiator Neck Broken 97 960 900 1997

Gads, I fix one Volvo and the other one breaks!

Yesterday I went out looking for the cause of the missing coolant in my 1997 Volvo 960 (115k miles). I saw some wetness below the upper radiator hose neck, so I grasped the hose to give it a turn to see if it was lose. Unfortunately the hose fell off with almost zero effort. Along with the hose, coming off, it took most of the neck off with it. This leaves less than .250” of a neck on the radiator. I have the other piece that broke off as it is firmly held in the hose by the clamp.

I was wondering if anyone has had this issue before and if someone came up with a clever fix.

I might be able to clamp onto what is left, but I was looking for any ideas pointing to a better solution. I do not know what type of plastic this is and if there is some way of using a chemical to glue back what was there, or if there is some glue/bonding/epoxy option.

Thank you in advance for any ideas,

Seth
