[Healeys] Horn push for 3000 non-adjustable column

[Oudesluys]

Epoxy repair putty is not very good for the proper repair of parts that 
carry some load. Adhesion is not all that great. Bakelite can be 
perfectly repaired using Araldite, but first all traces of the putty 
have to be removed. Cracks can be filled when you open these up using a 
hacksaw blade, scalpel, Dremel etc. Just slightly bending the material 
to open up the crack a bit may cause the object to break completely. 
Cleanliness is absolute key so clean everything thoroughly using brake 
cleaner and let dry for a good while.
Use tape to create some kind of a mould to prevent the Araldite running of.
After 24hrs you can shape the Araldite using a Dremel, file, sandpaper 
and finish with fine wet 'n dry. After the repair the parts can be 
painted satin black.
