You could always get one from mini spares at around the same price as the one on eBay

Hi Goff,
The cans can be soldered but there are a couple of things to consider. The rust damage may not be in just one place and the inside of the can is likely to be very rusty. Rust flakes could easily get to where you don't want them so I think you should probably consider another or new one.

Also, if the can is bad with rust, have you thoroughly checked the condition of the bore? It would not be common for the can to be rusted through and the cylinder to be good in the bore.

Al
