Finally, my Ghia is horny!

Post by Bleyseng » Tue Apr 25, 2017 6:17 pm

After 7 years of trying to configure the horn set up as its a mix of year cobbled together. Today I was able to get it to work right modifying a 68-70 steering wheel to accept the 71 style horn contacts.

yes, years ago I disassembled them and got them to work but I never figured out the shorting out problem that plagued the car. Now they sound loud!! dual tone like the 914 and Westy.
