Mark P will recognise these horns from the early days of his restoration. They were the only bits on Gerry that the rust worms hadn't eaten. So he cut them off
& kindly donated them to my restoration.
(Thanks again Mark)
..... as the samba horns were completely shot
They have sat in my "man cave" for over a year so I have now decided to stick em back together
Bending 2mm plate over a 10mm rod to get the right radius
Had to cut the old horns off to get an outline of the base plate
Wont be fitting them yet till the engine bay has been blasted & repaired.

Had loads of goodies turn up from Various places today and awaiting more on Friday...
Should make a good start on the chassis & floor pans over the next few weeks.
Will be uploading some suspension updates soon too. (Front beam, work in progress).
