Well got the horn case back cost a bit more in the end, was £25 for the three snapped bolts to be removed but as the threads were poor/damaged three Helicoils were put in, so total price was £40 and two weeks. Seems alot but when you think a garage charge 50-60 an hour + vat and it must of taken them an hour I guess, so I spose its about right.
Got a new set set of SS bolts/screws from Scoot Rest. job done and still all original ! :bouncing:

Be real careful putting SS into alloy, it can be worse than normal steel, something chemical....
