I got this horn pad in a lot with other Porsche parts. It still has its parts label on the back with 914.613.805.12 part number printed on it no date. The part number on the part itself is 914.613.805.0. I have never seen the small black gasket in place of the plunger before and it installs and comes out same way as the larger plunger. I am guessing this has never been installed since the label is still attached and it is in like new condition. Has anyone ever seen one with the label and small rubber gasket still in place?

Is the small rubber gasket installed for later cars that didn't use the plunger?

May just be a shipping plug. That certainly looks like a NOS find to me.

Looks like someone used a power driver on the screws and over torque them, the slots have indents which could not be done by hand. I could picture someone at the dealer using a power driver to attach the hardware, Lol!

The screws on the horn pads of all three cars I've owned looked like that. The heads are pretty soft. Wouldn't surprise me if the factory used a power driver to speed assembly. I doubt they were as concerned as we are about the condition of screw heads. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I think these pics should be added to the nailed Interiors thread in the O&H forum. Nice reference pics. Just a couple weeks ago I was looking for pics to see how black these pads were originally.

the main problem with the 73-76 horn pad was the pesky horn plate with small male clip that held the horn wire, they often broke as the wire was tricky to install and then clip on the pad. We actually ran totally out of good used ones, and the early cars 70-71 had a different plate. We finally had it made with a reinforced clip, works great and has solved a nagging problem

If you must use a impact driver OR want complete control on a slotted screw you need "carb" type sockets. Never slip off and work well in "blind" locations.

Yes; they make 3 sizes. Work like a charm. For carb tuning but they're also handy for Norma Clamps and the like in tight areas because they won't slip off.

Like at Home Depot and garage sales? They work, but it seems like Phillips is more better.

Adjustment screws are usually slotted to allow for easier visual position tracking
