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

I believe they were called "Windtone Horns" Hi & lo tones.

Good luck finding them.

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

Personally, I'd use a pair of replica Windtones:

Horns 12v - Horns & Spares from Holden Vintage & Classic

ps if you click on the horn photo you can hear what they sound like!

I know its not original, but i've fitted on of these, courtesy of my better half....

Holden | Horns & Spares | Horns 12v | Chrome/Stainless Horn Low Tone

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.

That's a good feature to be able to hear them. Some are disappointingly weak, but the GBP84 pair sound good and strong

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

Good luck with Lucas part, model, serial, numbers names, categories etc. I believe the windtones are the 7H Lucas 7H Windtone Horn LU69152 AC Austin Jaguar Jensen MG Bentley Triumph | eBay

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.

rodneym 02-08-2013 10:53 AM

Yes, but do they sound the same as originals? ;)

Sorry, just channeling my inner Patrickt.

I gotta hand it to you guys. :cool:
