Wish someone would manufacture repair tabs similar to the drawing listed (not the best did it quick in VISEO).
What this would allow is that there would be a offset to allow for the material thickness of the metal used on the body. This could be soldered on or glued on with JB Weld.

Making out of brass would be good as it could be annealed to make it softer in the bending process.

A machine to stamp out and bend at the same time would be good, tooling would be costly but if someone is in this business they could make some extra cash.


With the tolerances on the tinplate I have and have seen, not sure if the offset would even be needed, but this is a great idea.

Good point, but it will help in keeping it square when gluing of soldering.
