Thanks TZ for the suggestion. Your described exactly what happened to my radiator neck too.
I quickly realized my idea to use pvc pipe to make a new neck was a bad one.
What I did that works:
Since the neck crumbled and the remaining black plastic was only a half round, I found that the metal drain pipe that goes under a kitchen sink is a snug fit over the remaining neck. I put about a 3 inch piece on with JB Weld.
It is holding great and watertight. I crimped the end in a little to make it easier to get the hose back on.
