Hi Gerry,

These are sometimes found on E-bay. You can also check the usual suspects in my suppliers list. T-Rutlands in Atlanta, Partsource in Maine, or Dennis McCann in Ohio are a couple I'd check with. There are several types, so make sure you know exactly which one they have to sell, and it's right for your car.

How does someone steal your horns? Was your hood open at a sleezy show?

thanks Tom (Yang)!

dear Tom (Wilson),
you want to know how they got stolen? in a parking garage...

Wow! That's a first for me. I guess you should be glad that was all they stole. Could have been a lot more expensive!

Sounds like an inside job (literally and figuratively).

Gerry,

Which ones on that page are correct for your car?

Cheers,

Dear Jon,
I really don't know, as I can't remember well and don't have photos of the engine-bay of my car from the time the horns were still there.

I think there wasn't a specific model, the important thing is that the horns are from the correct period (as Tom wrote on that page, "Ferrari used different horns through the vintage years and there is no definitive guide to which horns were used for which cars" and "...so perhaps the horn selection was based on which year that particular vendor supplied Ferrari with their horns...")

Gentlemen,

It's whatever horn was correct for a GTE.

The Fiamm horns from a GTE that were shown on Tom's page are mine. Tom had a concern that the horns had been replated, but I know the previous owners well enough to know that they never would have spent money on something as small as a horn (or leather, door handles or choke knobs for that matter). Therefore, I tend to think they are original.

Anyway, if you need more information on these, let me know.
