FITTING TWIN HORNS ZR

Replacing the useless single horn of the MG, and then adding a much more responsive twin horn installation much like, and if not even better than the positive sounding ones which were originally fitted as standard equipment to the old Rover 200 series. .

TWIN HORNS NOW FITTED

Fitting the horns was a straight foreward swop, made easier with the front bumper out of the way, the old horn securing bracket was so corroded from where its located. This was then replaced with an alloy one that was supplied in the new fitting kit.

Quick access to the horns, was to have the steering on full right lock, and pull back the wheel arch liner, but working in a tight space to do a proper job is always going to be difficult. As other maintenance was to be included with fitting new horns, the bumper was removed. These included cleaning out windscreen washer tank, bonnet locking mechanism greased, and bonnet release cable oiled.

Bumper to wing are 4 x10mm bolts, 2 at each side, accessed by pulling back wheel arch liners, require having the steering on full alternate lock, these 4 bolts not the easiest to remove, and will be corroded with the possibilty of having to replace them, along the bottom edge 3 x 10mm bolts in the middle with 6 cross head screws, 3 located at each corner, the leading edge are 5 x 10mm bolts.
