IANAM, but I'd braze that puppy. 'Course, that should have been done
before the springs and rubber seals went back in. Maybe soak the
bottom half of the head (lengthwise) in water while you braze to keep
the heat entirely away from the rubber parts.

Take ya ten minutes from start to finish. Soak the head, 'tin' the
tab, 'tin' the head, heat both, and braze together. The rocker should
have a radiused block it rides on so the tab won't get so much
pressure against it that it would try to pop off, I don't think.

Was it dropped against something?
