Somebody broke off my horn ring and took it to the aluminum recycler.  

Has anyone seen a fix, other than buying a new one?

Can I propane torch a half moon of shiny tubing to it?  SC

I have a horn.   I keep it in a box in the shed.   I fear that the horn ring will never sound the strange vw bug love song. "BeeeeeeeeeeeeeeP"
  Ever since I got Stupie the broke horn ring has bugged me.   I'm thinking of swagging a shiny chain from each end of the horn arms.  My dogs leash is about to be a might bit shorter    
 It will be a faux horn ring.  Then its back to the savage HW store  for a shiny new Horn button.  WAIT!    I do Have a broke dryer in the yard that may donate a button for transplanting .   SC
