CSX2xxx horns
Can anybody tell me what horn(s) CSX2xxx cars had as standard? Do they sound any good?
Cheers,
Glen

So what else would be period correct and could one conceivably use as a replacement on an original CSX2xxx?

Personally, I'd use a pair of replica Windtones:
Horns 12v - Horns & Spares from Holden Vintage & Classic
Roger
ps if you click on the horn photo you can hear what they sound like!

The horns were available on several different English makes of the period. A lot of the time when they do not work you can simply adjust the point gap per the Cobra chassis manual.

I just got a pair of the modern repro Windtones:
Pair of Windtone Horns - Horns & Spares from Holden Vintage & Classic
...and they look very close to the one pictured in the 289 Chassis Manual.

I just learned something... turn the volume down on your computer BEFORE clicking that horn test button!

The expression "whinging pom" came to mind when I saw this at worthpoint.
Original Pair Vintage Lucas 7H Whintone 12 Volt Horn (04/22/2011)...
Classic typo on the Whintones. That is a good (bad) example of searching parts by typos for ya. |

Moss Motors has replicas of the Lucas horns although there are subtle differences.
