    I figure everyone's starter and horn buttons are starting to crack and fall off so I put up a webpage showing how to make your own on a lathe from a bit of aluminum. You can buy them on ebay but it's easy to make one in just a few minutes as long as you have access to some kind of small lathe.
    Most high schools and community colleges have lathes so if you don't own one they aren't hard to find.
