Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Maintenance & Servicing Plus 4 GDI: second horn

Me too. For the wires as well.

I made one little mistake though.

I fitted the horns with the opening facing forward. I was thinking that that would project the sound better.

2 days later I drove through standing storm water in a railway underpass. It was like driving unde a waterfall

15 minutes later I thought to try the nice new FIAMM horns. All that was projected was a vague gurgle.

The never recovered and in the end I fitted the original and a matched horn from the same manufacturer as the original.

Moral of the story: don't point them forward or they might become water scoops.

PS. FIAMM is correctly written in upper case because it stands for "Fabbrica Italiana Accumulatori Motocarri Montecchio" (originally a battery manufacturer before diversifying into horns - of course they still make batteries too). The upper case FIAMM is retained for historical reasons.

Strictly speaking the same applies to FIAT, acronym for "Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino" though by common use "Fiat" has now become a name in its own right and even the company itself uses it in both forms
