Anatomy of a 400/4 Horn (also CB250/360 G5)

Serious bling going on there Ash 8).
I used your method to repair my old rusty item and it 100% worked. The de-crimping was the difficult part, or trying to hold it was anyway.

The one I de-crimped , I fitted to the CB250G5 project I sold a few years back Dave. Since then, I have established that the horns are watertight ( so can be plated as a complete unit) and can be revived electrically if it's just the points that have oxidised, without the need to de-crimp. As you say they are very tricky to de-crimp and re-crimp.

I just received this unit from Japan. Mt Fuji on US EBAY was the seller. spot on to the original and beautiful.
I got it for way less than his asking price
This was for my new 400 . I have been looking a long time for an NOS one Or a Gem like this for my CB360T.

Wow ! I knew they were expensive .. but not that expensive ! Being a picky Anorak .... which I unashamedly am :-[ :-[ ... this is Anoraks Corner after all ;D..... The stampings, plastic terminal mounting and centre thread are not the same as the original 400F/CB250/360G5. Plastic cover looks good though for a repro.
Need to refurb my other two now !
Laverda Dave:
Wow, that price is eye watering :o. Just shows how expensive these individual parts are becoming and why it is difficult to justify restoring a bike to original spec and then of course you have to ask yourself the question 'If I have spent all this money restoring it should I ride it and ruin it'. This is why I'm trying to restore Ratty back to stock but have no problem using stainless fasteners where I can for practical reasons. I do however remove the stampings from the bolt heads and polish them to give a decent finish.
