[Healeys] Is this still the Healey list I have joint many years ago?

Jean,

The two recommendations I've seen:

1) from the 2009 Concours guidelines - a 1976 Volvo Metallic Beige with 
the note that adding some black would make a better match. I know I need 
to get a newer set.

2) David Nock recommended Dupli-Color rattle can Seattle Silver, a Honda 
color.

I have no experience with either.

Curt,

I've had a couple people write to say that the diaphragms were black and 
grey.  Matches what I've seen with a few of my horns.  I've not taken 
the horns apart to see if they all have one or more V notches on the 
outside edge. Something to check when I do disassemble them. In the 
Lucas 400E catalog on page E2 (Detailed Spares Parts), the low tone 
diaphragm (703726) is listed as being grey.  The other diaphragms listed 
don't have a color specified.

May-be a function of when the horns were produced and/or what day of the 
week it was.

Cheers,
