nah isn't a transmission line.
i've bought some permaoxy metal-expoxy stuff. says its good for 350oF and permanent strength of 3500psi
i'll give it a go and see what it can do for me
Or take the radiator out and give kieth at Rapid Radiators a ring.
Does the mobile radiator repairs etc so should be able to help you out.

hi
working on my hiace's radiator the other day. i managed to snap off the little metal hose line that comes out the top of it. i dont have much to spend and sourcing a second hand radiator is proving difficult.

is there any way i can just block the hole off... the hose that it joins to connects about half way along the tube where the cooled down water goes.
just wondering what i can use to plug it up?
any help is appreciated

Is said hole for the transmision? If so, you shouldnt have to plug it, just plug your transmission (if its auto) so you dont loose all your oil...
If not, tape meassure and a day at the wrecker to find something that might/will fit?
Cheers,
Jase

Take it down to a radiator repair place and they should be able to solder it for you pretty quickly (and cheaply! :D ).
