Can I put in another eyelet or repair it somehow or is it just going to pull through again? Vintage equipment is going through the roof lately so if I can save it I'd really love to, but certainly understand if it simply won't work.

Thanks for all the wisdom out there and its collective answers!!!
Vintage parts are expensive sometimes if you're looking for a popular or rare item. If you're not so picky, you can probably find an inexpensive, same sized rim to rebuild your wheel.
