Paul,

Funny you should mention this.  I was just looking for a new rubber bulb the
other week. The old one is hanging on - but barely.  it seems that rubber
was very different back in 1954.  It seems most of the rubber repro parts
I've bought in the last 15 years deteriorate quite quickly.

My Great Uncle Star bought my TR2 brand new - and shipped it all around
Eurpope while in the Air Force.  While in Turkey, one of the local guys made
a horn similar to the one Paul bought (straight - not curved) and made a
spiffy brass mounting bracket that fits into the frontmost wedge mount on
the driver door.

I love the way it looks on the car.

Chris
