The age old problem of the strut supports breaking means I am after any old stock of the v2 Xtro horn, Only need the phase bung and ring, think I need one right now but would be willing to purchase multiple to insure us against any future breakages!

Is it broken? Then glue it up, you might want to reinforca that
Are they missing? Then do a mold and a new one in 2 comp polyester fiberglass :-) |

Its broken and really heavy solid resin, glue wouldn't work.
No experience with moulds or fibreglassing, never done it or anything like it in my life. need it to match the other 6 too. Looked into 3D printing, very expensive. Know there's some odd bits and bobs of old stock floating around its just finding that needle in a haystack ;)

Talk to wonky. He knows how to fiberglass. Get him to make 6, then they all match

It won't look pretty but the best long term method to prevent it happening again and save you cash would be to drill through the horn and bung, fit a long threaded rod through each side and then fill the gaps with resin or hot glue. Spray them black and done.

If it's just broken use epoxy, if it's more do it in fiberglass, ask people with boats, fairly easy.
You can even make a new one and put reinforcement in, just grease the parts & put them in gypsum flush with surface and cut off any excess gipsum with a knife or fill holes if needed. You can also just use regular wet clay, holds its shape ok for a one-time mold and easy to shape. Do it outside & wear gloves |

Since these are no longer in production, I can machine you some out of ply at a reasonable price.
Will need one to measure up though. Drop me an email or PM if you are interested. |

Hello mate, yeah machining some out of ply could be a viable option, as long as the finish was nice and smooth just like the resin of the originals , would you give me a rough quote after seeing some detailed pics before I commit to anything? they would need to be 100% exactly the same

The finish would be smooth so no problem there.
email me a couple of pictures and some overall dimensions. Length and throat diameter will be enough. One point is if the support struts are breaking, they may not be strong enough when made in ply. We could swap this segment out for aluminium instead of plywood, but that will up the cost somewhat. Anyways I don't want to intrude on this forum anymore by trying to sell to you. Send us an email over and we will discuss it further |
