Do I REALLY have to buy the whole upper radiator hose?
Well I started the alternator bracket seal fix today and in doing so I snapped the radiator overflow tank hose nipple off... the one on the top of the radiator at the first 45 degree elbow on the driver's side. I can't find just the plastic elbow there... only the whole upper radiator hose assembly, which is around $100.

In this picture it's the elbow on the far right/bottom of the main radiator hose (not the small hose that leads to the overflow tank).
So whaddya say... can I get just the elbow anywhere (aside from a junkyard)
