Hi Pat
I looked at the can I have and could not identify the area of the flare at the base you alluded to. I essentially cut the top off at the crimped sides. I have very good access to the internals now. I will lengthen the leads of the replacement cap by splicing some wire. The leads will be pushed out the bottom of the can which has been opened. The rubber plug was removed and the crimped hole enlarged.

Now to make the connections, I'll have to rig something up.

To close the top without making a mess, I was thinking maybe a plumbers cold solder, an epoxy or aluminum tape. The cut is maybe an 1/8" or less. I think it'll look good enough for my purposes.

What do you think?
