The black plastic fitting on the drivers side on my rad (86 NA) that sends a line to the resivior is shot. I've used up all my spares fittings but still can't keep it from leaking. Has anyone found a suitable replacement, preferably metal?????
JB weld is looking pretty good about now.

Nope. These fittings get brittle from heat cycles and will usually break where the nipple meets the wrench flats. This is a fairly cheap part, about $11.00 from a dealer as I recall. Get a new fiber washer as well.

And metal will screw up the platic radiator.

I used a metal bolt wrapped with teflon tape. Carefully.
