Oohga horn screen replacement
Good morning All,
Rebuilding the horn from Daddy's pickup, picking up where he left of in '68. Looks like he was trying to make 1 out of two. I have all the parts located and am curious how the screen is installed. My idea at the moment is to make a gadget to depress the center while supporting the outer edge with a ring on the opposite side to "cup" the screen, place it in position and release it. Seems that would minimize risk to scratching the bell. Interested in hearing from those with successful experience installing the screen. Thank you. BTW, gas tank is now coated and primed. 2 wheels ready to paint, 3 more coming soon. Visor ready to cover, seat is on the way. Tires getting ordered next week. Won't be too much longer now! Thanks to all who have contributed to this effort. Pics added to album and more coming soon. |

I had the same puzzle and what I ended up doing was that I put a bead of silicone around the rim of the bell, then I pressed the screen onto the bead. I weighed it down with a small rock for 24 hours to let it cure. Then I assembled the bell to the motor housing. Seems to be working for now.
