No overflow tube on radiator

Getting some odds and ends done on my cub and one thing I'd like to address is the overflow on the radiator. The tube is broken off the neck. Did I see on this forum a fix for this. Something like a hollow bolt or something in that order. Could find it on the search but was sure I had seen in here.

Dan, I remember something like that too. As soon as I find it I will lock it down in the how to forum.

Yes there is one on here somewhere, Bear did it. 1/4 in brass screw with a hole drilled in it works well. I thought it was saved but guess not

I wish I had seen who did it before I started looking. It took a couple different search strings to find without an author but I figured it would have to pop up sooner or later.

I bent me a piece of 1/4" copper tubing to where I wanted it, flared the end inside the neck, then JB Welded the junction at the radiator. Took about 10 minutes and overnight to set up....
