Hi Folks


I remember that my LC GTR had twin horns fitted. I see lots of pictures of XU-1s some have the same twin set-up some don't. My '72 doesn't. A lot of aficionados have looked under my bonnet and said "wrong master cylinder" "wrong washer bottle" but nobody has mentioned that it only a single horn.

Does anyone know what the correct story is?

Thanks

Bazza

Spot on they overlap and use the same holes and both my GTR and XU-1 have twin horns :tease:

Thanks gang


Looks like I will have to chase up another horn. Are they the same part number? Funny though nobody has mentioned it before. I guess most folks focus on engine number, head number, Sprintmasters, Dot Locs, master cylinder etc. etc.

No the Horns are different part numbers, one a low note horn and one a hight note horn.

there was a set of twin horns on ebay not long ago, cant remember if they sold or not, search the completed listings, if they didnt sell, send the seller an email.

I am watching a set at the moment. I have asked for part numbers - he says that they are from an LC GTR. One looks the same as mine - the other seems to have a square mouth.

Bazza, one of the horns has two male spade connectors on each terminal, the original horn wiring used one set of connections, and a short lead was used from the second set of connections on the first horn to the second horn (which only has one set of connections). Hope that made sense. Try to get this short cable included when you buy the horns.

One horn is round mouth, and one is square mouth.

Hi Dangerous


This is an old thread. I bought the horns I mentioned above 15 months ago. Incidentally - I paid $32. They are going for $100 plus on eBay these days.

Thanks anyway

Bazza
