Default Repairing a Hideaway Can

Hi all,

Am trying to get my hideaway headlights working. Realized the can is rusted through in a couple places. Used some jb weld. Hopefully that holds. I'd prefer to use the original can as the repops look different.

Still not holding vacuum after jb weld. Wondering if there might be a seal issue between the nipple and can. Does anyone know how the can is disassmbled? Is the nipple pressed or screwed into the can? etc?

Wish I had not sold my air compressor - as maybe I could test for leaks using that (maybe bike pump will work).

Thanks!
