Cold Blue Posted March 29, 2019 Report Posted March 29, 2019 Has anybody found a way to weld, glue, or whatever.... to re-join a broken horn ring? I suspect it ain't possible and the answer is to belly up to the bar and buy an unbroken one.....if one can be found, for my 48 Plymouth Club Coupe. Am I right in my assumption? Boy, I sure would like to keep mine, it is in great shape except for the break. Thanks in advance, Blue. Quote

There are some swap meets in my area, but not until May, Plymouthy. I was kinda hoping someone had found a way to fix it - otherwise I will just have to be patient and wait for the swap meets to come around.... and hope someone has a 48 Ply horn ring at the meet....

BobT-47P15 Posted March 29, 2019 Report Posted March 29, 2019 Maybe someone in the jewelry business knows if they can be welded. These rings get a bit of pressure at that broken point when you use the top area of the ring to honk the horn. Another thing that will work is a ring from a 46-48 Canadian Dodge (or Plodge) that looks like a P15 even though it's a Dodge. I think it's model #D25. I once bought an excellent steering wheel listed as from a Dodge......but knowing it was same as Plymouth. Quote
Cold Blue Posted March 29, 2019 Author Report Posted March 29, 2019 Thanks guys. I am going to do some more research and see if it can be repaired. My ring does not have any chrome pitting; most rings I see do. The ones that are in great shape are for sale with a hefty price tag.... will keep everyone posted if a fix is found. Quote
Greg51T&CWagon Posted March 29, 2019 Report Posted March 29, 2019 A google search for welding pot metal will turn up some options, the thing is the weld will need to be ground, heat applied etc, that area is going to look gnarly compared to your otherwise nice chrome plating. 1 Quote

Cold Blue Posted March 29, 2019 Author Report Posted March 29, 2019 Looks like it would work - but I bet the chrome finish would be affected. May give it a try! Thanks Joe. Quote
