Very pretty, congratulations! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Did you happen to have a look at the red ‘76?


Never made it— the seller has set aside a single day for visitation and it has yet to arrive.


You were probably better off with a car that spent a majority of its life out west anyway.

I've been reading through your thread backwards.

Great looking 914!

Still havin’ horn fun!

Put them back on to their wiring and gave the horn button a press— nothing.

So I pulled the horn relay and tested it in the headlight motor— works.
Went to put it back and the horns sounded when I just touched the relay to its input holes! Startled me. Tried again and nothing this time, not even when I press the horn button. Thought I might have blown the relay somehow, tested it with 12v and its clicks as expected.

Intermittent wonkiness possible?
Just had the thought that I should put the headlight motor one into the horn relay spot and see what happens…

What a great restoration, I would sure like a set of these on my ride.

Is this a DIY?

Let me hasten to add that I had no more to do with this restoration than doling out the cash.

Is the wire on the horn pad securely fastened?

Ok, pulled the horn button. Detached, taped ground wire. Worn cup. Non-conductive washers incorrectly placed so that horn would always be grounded. So that and corroded points in each horn were the culprits as now if the ground wire is grounded, the horn sounds.

Ordered a new cup to complete the job. Safety increasing— LED headlights and working horn. Drivers side seat belt next.

Looking forward to doing just that!
But ‘tis the season for repairing. Having at making it safer for all the Porsche fun I can muster this year.

I will then, with face flushed and heart racing, give with all the delicious driving details— Stay Tuned!

I actually rewound a seatbelt after that. Worked just as well as when I let the magic winds out. Ended up buying new ones before track day last July. Good investment. Not that expensive, and much safer.
