Thanks to John for this damaged Horn base

I had to fill a chip in the lip on the good side then I cast a mould using some Silcoset 101 that I had it was outof date but set ok
I had two good internal ridges but only wanted 1 on thereplacement side so I cast one of these first moved this to the middle andrecast the whole piece this gave me 3 ridges so had to back fill the 2 I didnot need

Than I laid a layer of glass fibre resin and a piece of matand left it to set
Then using some ISOPON bumper filler to bring it up level
I put more glass fibre across the joints on the back forextra support

A good sanding some primer and Ford rio brown to finish

I still need to fit a new logo to the horn but need to ordersome transparent paper
First to print it
And I will need to rewind one side of the coil ,but for thatI will need to make up a rewinding machine
For now its on display with my Cossor Melody maker
