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 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. |

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.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) 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. Attached image(s) |

Not saying the older style won't work, but if you are going for original look then those are not correct. Attached image(s) |

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. |

================================================
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 !!! ================================================ |

Maybe they were all replaced at one time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) but all were mounted under the car, not behind the bumper. |
