body and interior Horn Mounting....

[kjf654321]

Hello all,

 

I'm slowly trying to get a 2002 back on the road.  The PO had started to strip the car in plans to restore it and than lost interest...hence I stepped in.   This weeks project is to put in the horns.  But since they were missing I'm having a problem figuring out where they mount.  The one on the drivers side seems obvious but I'm not sure about the passage side.  I haven't found a good pic.  Can someone post a pic of how their horns are mounted?

Each of the vertical hood mounts, right behind the grilles, has a hole for the bolt that you'll use to mount the horns.  This at least is the case on square-lite cars.  I think the roundies are similiar.

Bill,

Please don't take this the wrong way, and I am not generally a man of excess, but when I see your car, I have an urge to lick it! It is cleaner, shinier, and more appetizing than any creamsicle! Don't let me near it!

And, yes, it's beautiful.

Regards,

Steve

I hadn't gotten that far: it was pretty much a private thing in my mind...

First, wow nice car!  I think I'm missing the bracket on the left side....sorry for the smudge.  Maybe I'll use the upper radiator mounting bolt....

it is not much of a "bracket".   it is just a flat piece of metal about 3in long and 1in wide with two holes in it.  it is only there to push the horn away from the hood support so it clears.  you could make one in 5 minutes.

I can't remember what year, but earlier roundie cars (maybe before Model-71) did only have the left side horn bracket. The one in front of the battery. When I mount two horns on these earlier '02s I mount both on the one bracket. Be sure that the open mouth of the horn points downward so that it doesn't collect water.

Please always refer to left and right side of the car as viewed from the driver seat. Thus, the intake is on the left side and exhaust on the right, even if the picture is from the front of the car. The left headlight is the (left hand drive) drivers side, always. This is how professionals view cars, and it makes things easier if there's a simple rule like this.

The early 1600s came with only one horn, the 2002s with two. One of the perks for that extra $400 you paid for a 2002 vs a 1600.  My Feb 69 production car came with a pair of "seashell" horns (curled up trumpet), one on each side.  Later 2002s had flat horns, like those used on Mercedes and VW Beetles.
