I agree about doing repairs to a school horn...have your (Karl) son get in touch with the band director and bring the problem to his attention. I personally would not want to risk any bad repair work being done to an instrument I didn't own, nor would I want to go to the expense of having it done on a horn I didn't own.
When the band director realizes that if they break during a contest or something that the horn is out for the day, he might spring for some metal end links. Besides, the plastic ones retail for over $10 each from multiple sources.
