Radiator Spout where hose connects to radiator overflow bottle..

Another simple question that someone probably knows offhand. On my 1996 4.0l XJ the little spout on the radiator fill where the overflow bottle hose connects to it has broken off.

I didn't notice this until now, here is a picture to illustrate

Does anyone know how to fix this? Can I epoxy it back on?

you could try, but if that dosen't work the best thing would be to drill it out and get a small brass mpt x barbed fitting and thread it back into the hole and connect the hose

looks like I'll be doing that Sunday probably. Tried some stuff called QuikSteel epoxy but I don't think it held.
