No one else, is concerned...That if that nut was brittle enough to fail, that the rest of the plastic radiator isn't just as brittle?

No one else is worried, that the bottom of the radiator, is where all the gunk falls too? That green coolant is the wrong coolant to use in a plastic/aluminum radiator? As well as it becoming to acidic with age?

Hmmm.....My personal feelings, I know get tramped....Would tell me just replace the radiator.....Fill with proper coolant and won't need to worry about future fractures in the plastic for another 30 years...regular coolant changes included....

Turbo radiators, are climbing steady....Soon they will be just like the NA radiators....NLA....and the few left close to 800$...
