We have one horn but the other is dead. We cannot tell the HZ of the existing horn, so we would like to buy a matching pair.

Thanks!

I have a small bucket of tested horns. Half were dead. I have heard they can be repaired but I have not tried it.
The HZ is usually heat stamped into the plastic base. 300 and 335 hz is I remember correctly. Not sure it makes a big deal. I think some late cars only had one horn.
The earliest horns has screw on front covers.

Thanks Bruce, I am not sure if the horn is stock because it is all metal, but manufactured by Hella.

I’ll add a picture tomorrow

Look on Ebay. All the Hella stuff is made in India. Since they are under the front pan, marking will be out of sign. No German horns in years.

Nothing viable on eBay

I am getting a lot of Spam

I as well have a fair sized box of horns. 3 types Ive found on the cars over the years. The combination of the differing Hz horns make up the LOUD noise desired. On the back is a nut that is usually covered in potting material that is used to "tune" the horn to a specific frequency Either 335 or 400. So if you can only find the same (working) HZ horn as you have, you can adjust it.

Rich, the horns on the car appear after market and one is inoperable. Can I buy a working set from you? I am getting use to visiting your house

Jett...

check out these horns here for sale..

Those are 70-74 style horns. The 75-76 style mount under the front pan have "horn" that faces forward like these. Not saying the older style won't work, but if you are going for original look then those are not correct.

That's interesting. Ive never seen horns such as those fitted to any 914

only 75-76. Because of the big bumpers and the way they are mounted to the 75-76 cars there is no room for the horns. The older style horns will direct the sound downward hence the difference in the 75-76 style facing the sound forward.

Again not saying the older style work, a horn is a horn.

My '75 did not have directional horns like that and by all accounts everything was stock on my car before I got it in '84. the one on mine look like the round ones in the first pic posted.

I've got a set of horns from Germany (FER) 420 and 510 Hz.
$20 shipped to you in the Lower 48.

I have owned 10 Porsches (circa '75 & '76) and
have NEVER seen the "point forward" HORNS on
any of them.

As a matter of fact, I have never seen a "point
forward" HORN in my life, period.

Just saying !!!

================================================

These point down or to the side....you choose.

What are the hard parts for?

Fair enough, but every and I mean every 75 /76 I have parted (18 of them) had the exact same style horn as I posted. Maybe they were all replaced at one time
but all were mounted under the car, not behind the bumper.

Those are 911 parts I have for sale on Early 911 S Registry.

Thanks are these horns off a 911?

Do you have a set for sale?

My friend and mechanic thinks that the 75 horns are all metal and point down... these were the exact type of horns we pulled off the car but one does not work.

Here is a picture he provided this morning...

We need a concourse judge to help

=========================================================================

Metal and slim. Smaller than the early '73 - '74 metal horns.
Slim so they do not scrape as they are one of the lowest
objects under the front end.

The plastic "point forward" would NOT last a day.

My two cents.

Here's a picture of my driver's side horn from my late '76, #3947. The passenger side is also round. Note the original undercoating on the mounting nut.

Thanks, these are what came iff the car

Any guesses on why some cars have only one?

Thanks! Will send pics of them installed.

My 76 only has one. Driver's side. Identical to the one pictured just above. No provisions for a passenger side horn. No wiring for one.

From the info I have seen, a single horn was stock on all 914s. Dual horns were stock on the 914/6 and optional equipment as part of the Appearance Group [Comfort Equipment] on all other 914s. They were also available separately ordered optional equipment as M-572. http://bowlsby.net/914/Classic/OpEq.htm

our 73 and 75 cars have the Appearance package (AP).

The 76 for sale on Sotheby's site looks like it has the AP components but one horn.

914LIVE — Thanks for the clips and horns!

After a couple of hours of cleaning and polishing... Love the washers that denote the Hz
