Radiator overflow hose connection.

There is only a "nub" on the radiator neck where the overflow hose is suppose to connect. The neck appears to be a composite material so wonder what would work to re-connect hose?
I searched the threads before posting this and of course here comes the answers, what a great site! Only my second day so excuse me for the "newbie" errors and thanks for the fix, I hope.

Is there enough there to thread it and put a tube in it?

I assume from your edit, you found a fix...Had the same problem...I took a sharp utility knive and carefully carved away the little wings of what is left of the fitting...creating a "new"... albeit...larger nipple, was still able to push the old hose over that...add added a small hose clamp to hold it..
