G'Day Gunner.

Replacement horn balances are easily made. Take fine wire (eg, beading wire - @ $2 at a craft shop), drill into the surface/s, insert the wire/s & secure with superglue, use a length of tube to cut them all to the SAME length, tip the ends with white glue (or similar), finally, use a piece of card (placed flat on the surface) and bend the wire over it. This makes them all parallel to the surface, and all of the horn balances the same.

With the Lanc rudder ones, drill straight through, and double-end the wire.

The rod-type aerial (towel rail) is similar. Drill onto the belly, insert & glue the wires, use a jig (eg, hole in a 1mm thk plastic card) to cut them all to an identical height, then glue the 'rail' in place with superglue (gel helps to smooth/fill the gaps).

Good luck with your search. George, out...............
