It's all radiators at the moment on the forum!
I've repaired the lugs on my rad with Technoweld and if you get it right the results are excellent and they'll last.

I did the last repair 60k miles ago and it's still solid. There's a few vids on youtube which you could watch first.

The trick is to get a large enough area around the repair on the radiator up to weld temp, so strip it down and use a blow lamp. The little micro jet burners don't get enough of the piece hot enough. You don't just heat the area to be welded, it has to be the a large area around the piece.
As Fazerider said, it can be tricky though. Once it's up to temp, the weld happens very quickly but the useful thing is if you get it wrong, you just heat the area up and the tehcnoweld melts and you can try again. I found the hard bit was making sure the lug was positioned correctly as the weld was made, because juggling the blowtorch, the rod, the scraper and the part is not easy.
