What kind of solvent/glue to repair Behr radiator (85 300D)

which is plastic.
The overflow nipple on the top passenger side running to the expansion reservoir is cracked and sheared off.
I know from the past you can putty the area to death and stick a 3/16" vacuum fitting in the glob and it will work as an overflow nipple, but in trying to be professional, i would like to try PVC solvent and drill a 11/32" hole and slip a slightly sanded < 3/8" plastic fitting in their as an overflow nipple.
I did this 1/2 hours ago..
I dont think the PVC is holding...any ideas, if not I will putty the area and do it the ugly way...Any Ideas?
