[TR] Lucas Horns Early TR4 Part Need

[Allen Hess]

I believe that I have the same horns, one of which I rebuilt (CT13678). I ground off the rivets and pulled it apart. What I found was a lot of pot metal and dissimilar metals corrosion. So, clean that all up don't damage the electrics. I could not find any rivets of the same size, so I tapped the holes in the top piece and put in allen head screws from the underside. Fresh coat of black paint and no one has ever noticed. There may be a gasket between the halves which you might need to make. It may work or try to work at this point. There are two adjustment screws (big one in center and a small one adjacent) to fiddle with I hope you will have a horn. Mine are still working many years later.
