Replacement Radiator Tank?
I've got a 2000 Volvo S80 with a cracked plastic radiator tank - wondered if anyone knew any retailer that sells the replacement end tanks. I talked to my radiator repair shop, and they can't get one ordered, but I figured maybe someone on here knew a retailer.
Barring that - anyone had good luck repairing cracked radiator tanks? I'm thinking about trying a two-part epoxy, but I don't want it to fail on a road trip and be stranded.

So I got the radiator out and the two-part epoxy looks like a bad idea. The plastic is _really_ cracked.
Just wondering - I sourced a used radiator from about 2 hours away, but it's for a T6 rather than the 2.9 that I have in my car. Cross referencing the radiators for both cars on FCPGroton shows me the same part number for both cars, but I want to make sure before I order this that it's the right part.
Anyone know if the 2.9 and the T6 use the same radiator in a 2000 model year S80?
