A radiator shop would be the easy thing to do.

barrellracer ,If you have it out would be best.First clean the side of the strap where it connects to the radiator shiny clean,using a wire brush,course sand paper.Also clean the place where the strap connects to the radiator clean!heat and wipe with a water soaked clean rag, and tin both pieces with a propane torch using acid core solder.Once you have both pieces tined,hold the strap in place with a clamp,wire ect.Heat the strap and add solder through the holes in the strap,cool with a water soaked clean rag. Remember clean,clean is the process for a good successful solder joint

Unless you are experienced at radiator repair take it to a shop and have it soldered back in place. Should be a cheap and quick "while-you-wait" sort of job. It's real easy to un-solder other things and make it worse (aka more expensive to fix) by trying to re-solder it yourself.
