Had another go today at putting the coil back and it came out none too bad.
Annealed the end and then pushed the can in with the screw and wood block, revolving the can by hand. That was fine then peaned the edge over using a flat ended round punch and a hammer.
It is actually good enough, not perfect but with the can fitted to the chassis I dont think anyone could tell. The main thing is what you see still looks fine. I may do better if I can come up with a way of opening without belling out so much.
Boy! its damp cold in that garage. Even with a fan heater going I didnt want to stay out there long. I'm sure it kills some creativity. So next attempts, after the holiday I will have to put thermals on and a couple of
coats
