Kind of like the VW exhaust clamps I suspect

No, I didn't take any photos, and you can't see the repairs now...

A simple description might be:
Get a strip of mild steel with a width that matches the indentations in the plastic tank where the broken tabs were. Cut pieces long enough to bend into a "C" shape that fits tightly onto the tank side, and over the edge of the end plate on the radiator core. After all of the replacement clamps are in place, use JB Weld or similar high-quality epoxy to cover the clamps to prevent them from slipping off.

So far, so good...
