Sheds Moderator Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 My 96 factory built 1.4ss has no horn fitted. No, I don't know how it got an MoT either. Honest Officer 😳. I want to fit one, but which switch is normally used? Please don't say "wheel centre push" 'cos mine doesn't have one. Blipping the throttle works quite well as "an audible warning" with a 4-1, but I'm not sure it satisfies Construction and Use Regs. 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morls Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 Mine has a toggle switch, down and right a little from the dip switch. I often beep the horn at oncoming traffic that I don't want to dazzle 😳 Mark ☹️ My Caterham Silver Jubilee No. 7 is for sale ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murph7355 Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 Button to the right of the wheel. Air horns (bit Dukes of Hazard, and weigh more, but significantly better than the electric ones). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-B Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 You know Andy, I've fancied a set of large lorry horns for quite a bit of time now. You've now got the bug scratching at me to do just that.... Steve SV VHPD Drive like your wife depended on it.... click here to see our 7 and rallye pictures....

murph7355 Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 Red Fiamm ones from Halfords are about 15 quid (I think you can get them in blue or black from other outlets). You can probably get lighter ones as the compressor on these is made out of depleted uranium, but they aren't half loud and sound much better than the limp wristed electric ones. Lorry drivers cack their pants when they hear these going off alongside as they start to pull out on you. They also look amusing under the bonnet (horns, not lorry drivers).

MikeW Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 When I got mine there was a horn fitted but nothing to operate it. Turned out that it had the standard steering wheel with centre push when it was SVA'd but this was then changed to QR wheel later. Just fitted a push button to the right of the wheel that i could get to without moving my hands from the normal driving position MikeW W89 TVV Car no 79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
