Also, when people say solder, are they talking lead tin alloys, or silver alloys? I imagine it is difficult to silver solder a previously lead soldered component.
Rowdy, still waiting for your solution???

I have no personal experience with the explosive rivets. You are 100% right about the solder being used for just sealing.
If this is for a show car and it were mine, I would look for another tank or open it then clean it and replace the part. If not for show I would put in a '31 mount.
