Default broken power steering reservoir

well a friend and i were working on my 83 when he accidentally broke the power steering reservior on the plastic part that connects to one of the hoses. is there any way to fix this without getting a whole new reservior or am i pretty much screwed cuz id like to keep it simple instead of running out to a junkyard cuz there are none within about 20 or so miles of my house and i havent been able to find a store that can order them.
any suggestions??
btw i still have the piece that cracked off where the hose connects to the reservior so if there is anyway to put those two together it'd be great or if i could at least find a piece that would adapt to the hose and the reservior

O I C
Epoxy! But I doubt that would work well. If it is something you dont want now I do have a steel one out of an Astro van. It uses about a 5/8 hose and has a smaller return that can be plugged on the side.
