Altettes aren't cheap but they are rebuildable.
I'd buy another cheap Taiwan horn if I was you, as Altettes are too expensive to gut just for the looks .

The old pink Lodges were the dismantable ones as I recall.

Orabanda; I have a cheap Japanese horn at the moment.
I don't have an Altette and was wondering if it was worth getting one. Not too bothered what it looks like it just needs to be louder than the engine.

Haha TT, I was thinking a bit more high tech! If you can call BSA high tech!
Thanks for the reply.

Hi All,
Way back in the sixties and early seventies my Father was still using a TVO Ferguson 20.
The older plugs I remember could be dismantled and cleaned then came the crimped type N21 champions.
I soon became a dab hand at firing up the parrafin blowlamp to burn the plugs clean *eek*

Hi All,
Luckily, I have a brother living about halfway down the hill. If the bastard bike hasn't fired up by his place I stop there and get him to bring me home to get my van *smile*
There were many times when I was young and lived at that house that I had to push bikes up from the very end *eek*
Maybe I should have chucked those yokes into the tide down there  *razz*

Hi All
I live at the top of a hill, it  has its advantages in situations like this *smile*

John

I live at the top of a  hill too, but the disadvantage is that if a rolling start doesn't start the b*gger it's a loooong push back up..
{Actually the last time this happened I called out breakdown recovery; the old ticker wouldn't take that much exertion!}
