this is unfortunately a common problem. the replacement rads have a steel sleeve there to strengthen it.
some have glued it but if i did that i wouldnt take any trips out of town and would order a new rad immediately to replace it. tom w

you should be able to get a radiator for 175-200.
I think the behr's now all have the metal sleeve.
