| I need to find someone that works on horns. I have a donald duck bike that the quaker horn doesn't work on. I would also buy one if someone has one. This one looks to be in very good shape it just doesn't work |

| Same here I am also restoring an old Centurion and cannot find any new decals. I am considering putting Cannodale or Trek decals instead. Any Ideas? |

| I have searched high and low with no luck. The closest thing I can find is the centurion boat company. Which makes decals for there boats and window decals for trucks. I think it would be as close to the real thing as your going to get. |
