Usually takes some doing to detach a Smith loop, and either rust or hot caustic salts are usually involved. It is attached with an indexing screw and silver soldered



Another issue is heavy homemade BTFEs without the factory reinforcing loop support. This is a later variant



So short of JB weld (that IS a joke) it is likely that an entire rib relay will be required to do the repair correctly.
