Tomorrow im trying this. Drill out the hole where the plastic pipe went in with a half inch drill bit. Then grab yourself one of those Air compresser tool fittings with the thread on one end and the snap lock on the other end. Coat the threaded end with the good quality JB Weld and carefully screw it in. The thread should cut its way in as your winding it in. Give it a good 12 hours for the JB Weld to cure, then connect your hose and hopefully off we go.
