thanks again.
do you mean push the turn lever in toward the steering column, or toward the dash?

J.C. Whitney has a good selection of horns, and I'm sure a parts store could help find some!These are the ones I used sounds good, loud, but not objectionable 88ZX8357A.From J.C. Whitney I mounted them under the front fenders on the frame near the air inlet for the brakes.

Hey Doug, don't feel, like <img src=images/icon_speech_duh.gif border=0 width=23 height=15 alt=Insert Speech Icon: Duh!> .... same thing happened to me. When I was unpacking everything there was an enveloped labeled horn switch. I didn't think much about it and pitched in a box and didn't go back to it until I was installing the dash. I opened the envelope and there is an AC emblem for the center of the steering wheel. So, the first thing out of my mouth is, "what the he!!". Alan squared me away with the turn switch on the turn signal. Go figure ;)

Yeah, that's a funny one. For reasons only the English could figure out, many English manufacturers thought a button at the end of the turn signal stalk was a great place to honk from. My first car was a 71 Mercury Capri (built by Ford in England)had it set up that way, so I remembered where to look.
That's one reason I like what the Weavers do with their cars so much. They really stay very true to the original.

Most people mount the horns to the front sway bar mounts, right and left. You can buy one high note horn and one low note horn, available from NAPA. Make you some aluminum horn mount brackets and its done.

I'll be darned.... there is a switch in the directional lever... I don't hear a horn but I hear a relay clicking....I'll add that to my list of do-overs this winter...
I'm going to push this a little further... Did the Deluxe Pallet come with a wiper motor?... I see the add on in the invoice for wiper arms and blades but nothing else...

Hi Al,
Actually, when I bought my car from Unique, it didn't come standard with horns and they weren't offered on the option list. I bought a couple of Hella's from Summit and am currently in the process of wiring them up.

The Cars don't come with horns, they are not even on the options list. But they are wired for dual horns.
