              buy a new one, unless you know someone that has a plastic welder, and yes they do exist 🙂

                Honda radiators crack all of the time. The stock radiator on my teg exploded on me @ the drag strip one day.

                Best bet is just call up A1 radiator or whatever across from Mc Donalds on main and see what they have in stock or can get for you.

                  I agree, just bring it to a radiator shop to get fixed. The plastic end tanks (very common on todays radiators) can be replaced individually.

                    Honda end tanks actually cannot be replaced. However new Honda radiators are fairly inexpensive.

                      Just upgrade to an all aluminum unit. That will never crack or break, and it's pimp.

                              Ya I cracked my plastic pos radiator end tank too. Just used a pop can, some super glue, and duck tape.

                              PS. Didn't work!
