Ernest, cut out all the offending material and make a patch that
can
be TIG welded on. Weld the 45 degree fitting to the patch
and then
weld the whole thing to the radiator. Ed K could do
that for you
easily.

Or, Saw off the fittings close to the radiator material. Disk sand the area
so as to look like new. Cut down some new fittings. Take the whole works to a
real welder who has a real water cooled torch and Argon curtain gas. He will
return the jewelry you deserve for your airplane. It is just fine to ask to see
some of his work.
My mother welded aluminum with a gas torch during the war. I was 25 before
I laid down a bead she liked.
Tough audience.
