I don't think I've even used the Jag horn--- but again who cares

funny, my first thought was: who has a horn strategy?

In the UK we have to have a working horn to pass the annual inspection (MOT). Arrival at the test station is not the time to find it doesn't work!

When I installed the Mina intake, I seem to remember the horns located in an easy to reach area under the bonnet near the top of the radiator. I had always thought they were behind the grille.

Am thinking maybe I have to go to Jaguar.

Found mine when doing the grille mod.

I remeber the old days when having a sports car meant going to one of the many foreighn car parts stores and buying a custom set of english or italian horns. Maybe $75 bucks. Also all you needed was a screw driver and 30 minutes.Memories of my '59 TR-3.
