I have successfully stuck those back on with JB Weld.  You have to press the tab down firmly while the epoxy is setting.

im sure jb weld would work for a while, or perhaps forever, but i think the heating-cooling cycle would eventually break that weld again and then it would be impossible to resolder. personally, i would pull it out and take it to a shop and have it gone through while its out of the car

Never mind.  The point has been made, and amplified.  Too bad, it was a simple question.  What does legitimate mean, in the context of fixing a radiator?  That's all there is to it.

It's held up for several years, so far.
