Not worth the hassle, IMO. Just take it to any radiator shop, and have them
install a new fill neck. The part is only $15-$20 new; and they may even
install it for free if you have the radiator serviced (boiled or rodded out)
at the same time.
I had a new fill neck (with 3/4" reach instead of 1" so I can use a modern
cap) installed on my TR3 radiator last year, and ISTR it only added $18 to
the bill (including tax).
