Horn contacts

[Blacky]

Hi there, Do we still have a couple of those contacts that I could buy? My EK's horn does not work and I suspect that the switch/contact area is responsible.

I still haven't finished making them .......

I'll take a set when you get around to making them too Blacky if that's cool?

I had 20 of the contacts machined up so forum members and club members get first option , if there's any left they will be offered on Bookface - I may have to get more done I think , plenty of people chasing them ......

I haven't been on the forum for donkeys, my horn decided it didn't want to work today. I suspect it a contact issue! Logged on and saw your post... from... some time ago lol

If not enough that's fine, not on FaceAche so that's no go for me

Another thing - if there are parts of the horn mechanism that can be 3D printed, then I'd be happy to give that a try. All that I would probably need is for someone to either lend to me a sample of the part to be printed (even if it's cracked or worn), or for someone to supply me information about the geometry (e.g. scale drawings). For example (and a highly fictitious example): If the part consists of a plastic ring having 75mm outer diameter, 58mm inner diameter, total thickness 3.2mm with a 4mm square north cut out of the outer edge at the 12-o'clock position, then that's the sort of thing I should be able to model and print for testing.

I'm surprised more bits aren't 3D printed to be honest , the FB/EK chairs we raffled at the 2018 Nationals had some 3D printed parts in them

Putting my hand up 100% for a set of horn contacts, ready with payment when requested.
I don't have a headlight switch or original button or bezel either. Marty

Welcome to the forum Marty,

Headlight switches can be bought new , I have a couple here or you can get them from Rare Spares

Blacky, I think there are a queue of people waiting outside your shed for horn contacts……………… no pressure
