Which fixing? Mine has bolts though the front slam panel and brackets in rubber mounts on top of the rad.

Are you talking about the little pipe at top left as you look at it from in front of the car?

If so, I doubt that stuff will work.

You tried aralditing it?
Personally, I'd just get a new rad.

The guy that sourced mine warned me about that little pipe, apparently, the slightest excess pressure on it, it's fekked = new rad
