Couldn't afford a new radiator or the 197$ they wanted to replace the top tank ( and that was if I removed the radiator and took it to them )
So time to improvise I got a pvc threaded barbed tail drilled and tapped a hole in the filler trimmed it not to foul the cap locked and sealed it with locktite hydra seal.

and for a bit more peace of mind added some epoxy putty .

Topped it up with coolant and went for a drive and no sign of leaks :clapping:
Thanks again to those who had input in the question
Cheers Gaz
