The "fuse" was a rivet made of low melting point alloy that tied those 2 parts 
together. You can restore it by holding the 2 parts together and carefully 
melting the solder with a soldering iron. A touch of flux is often helpful, but 
you snould NOT add any fresh solder, because that will raise the melting 
point and render the fuse ineffective.
