Replacement Horn

(1/4) > >>

exvalvesetdabbler:
I have had enough of hitting the horn to make it work so I sourced a replacement from a well known Chinese auction site.

The only difference is 13 mm bracket hole with the old one and 12 mm with the new one.  I just need to machine up a washer/collar to adapt it to the old bracket.  OD is the same size so hopefully the plastic cover will pop on ok.

What is this horn cover? I've yet to see one. 

exvalvesetdabbler:
The horn cover is just a decorative bit of plastic that is pressed on.  The plastic hardens so usually need to warm it up with a heat gun so it comes off easily without splitting.

I machined up a shouldered washer from some 20mm SS round bar to couple the new horn to the old bracket.

Just need to finish painting the bracket now.

Nice job Dave. Everyone should have a lathe in the workshop, fantastic bit of kit and so useful for so many things.
