I've one that was re soldered..... but depends on the type of mount in the tin, is it just one of them or the whole mount assembley, a good and easy repair would be rivet (not pop rivets) see link below regarding a can I brought back to life, had to include the whole thread as I can't get the pics form photo bucket...... the individual mount and spigot were plug welded to the plate then this was riveted to the tin.
