Correction, The AD simply states how it must be inspected and if anything
goes wrong, It must be replaced and cannot be repaired. Also that type of
ELT can no longer be installed in certified aircraft. It is the AmeriKing
450 and 451.
Perhaps some cheap ones will come on the market.

Back in the WW1 era they used to put raw linseed oil inside welded steel
frames to 'passivate' the welds. Turns out raw (not boiled) linseed oil
is an oxygen getter. Maybe they knew something back then. When one of
those old birds turns up in a barn moth eaten, the frames are often in
surprisingly good shape. When my '92 honda civic rusted at the back of
the rear wheel wells (as they all did due to a drainage issue for
condensation inside) I welded new metal in there and sprayed raw linseed
oil over the area. It never rusted again despite driving in Canadian
winters till the car was 14yrs old and had 300,000km on it when I tossed it.
