I had a Mamod engine from around 1983, it's the same configuration but a little larger cant remember the model but it was fun to play with and I used it to power lego tecknic creations :D
I used Radio Shack Lead-Free Solder Catalog #: 64-026 electronics solder and a small butane pencil torch. I'm quite positive that there are better ways to do it but it worked well for me. I got the work hot enough to take the solder and got lucky. Ive used the same torch to solder 1/4*20 nuts to tin cans for tripod mounted wi-fi cantennas and it hold quite well. Keep a steady hand and practice on something and the usual "I'm not responsible" applies. Send a video when you finish :)

Nicely done! Good repair and must feel pretty good seeing an old toy still provide enjoyment. Well played!
