CX-5 Radiator nipple broke

[hramz99]

Has anyone replaced upper host radiator nipple using a brass connector. What size is hole or what size connector would I need?

I tried to repair a radiator once, waste of time and money. It's a lot safer and easier to just replace the radiator. Check RockAuto, you'll be surprised at how inexpensively you can find one.

How did you break the upper hose nipple?

I don’t think you’d want to mix the dissimilar metals. Hard agree with @theblooms to just buy a new one. Looks like you may have posted in the wrong vehicle forum as well?

A radiator repair shop may be able to solder the nipple back in. Check the price vs. a new radiator.
