it may be worth prowling the aisles of your local grocery store to see if there's some food or drink that comes in a can that looks like yours.
The JB Weld claims 5000 psi strength. Looked up solder strength on google, looks to be substantially stronger, but its done now, so I'll see how it holds up.

I doubt a grocery story in 2023 is likely to have a can similar to the one made on a GTO in 1969.

Inline tube sells a repop, but it has 11 ribs. The stock cans had four.
