stevie_b Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 So what does one need to do to get round this? I would imagine just connect the earth wire on the horn to a chassis mounting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will need to modify or make up a braket for the top horn as the bonnet will not shut if you mount it with a stock bracket. The lower horn is just a straight swap. I have a few sets and am making some brakets if anyone wants a simple replacement kit to bolt on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRD3000GT Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Dare I ask how easy they were to get hold of, and how much? Not easy to get hold of.. £75 for a new pair.. I have been through 3 horns as the normally buy from breakers and they die 6 months in to being used.. I guess its because they sit around getting rusty on shelves for possibly years before they are purchased.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look mint when they come off. Some Rovers use the same horns and they are mounted behind a shield so dont get salt and water damage. I have never had a problem with SH horns, but I am careful about what I get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 MMmmmmmm Ferrari horns... At £75 and a pain in the butt job to get hold of them I gues I'll stick with my stock horn for now and pretend it's not There isn't anything wrong with it (functionally) anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
