<p>Best horns in the world. Imminently repairable and thus durable.
They may be heavy but they are well engineered. All Lucas horns
until the late seventies were fit to repair. Mostly the points are
dirty after they have been idle for a long time. Drilling out the
rivets, cleaning the points, cutting a few gaskets and some small
bolts and nuts instead of the rivets, will see them in full
operation again.</p>

Man, those horns take a lot of juice. That's about the total
output--25A, give or take--of a stock generator (maybe less at
idle).<br>

Anybody ever laid on the horns with the lights on? <br>

<div>Nope. All wires were otherwise accounted-for; two were
'cross-colored.' The harness was brand new; I don't know
of any that supply extra wiring for separate turn signals,
but I haven't looked (would be a good idea, though).<br>

<div>I and many others in the UK feel that with just
two red lights coming on is very confusing
particularly as one enters a corner and brakes. This
confusing array is therefore dangerous. In the UK
amber turn lights have been mandatory for many
years. Younger drivers would not understand anything
but amber.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The mod we make for the back of the car is to add
amber lights connected on the existing wires but
connect both red stoplights to this additional wire.
At the relay box, all is needed is one wire being
redirected to the new wire.</div>

I feel your pain. My dad got a new harness for our
BN2 (probably from Moss). I thought the harness
was good quality overall, and everything worked
except the turn signals. I spent 3 days
double-checking everything; we went so far as to
open the relay box, but everything looked good in
there. I eventually discovered the wiring to one
of the rear brake/turn lights was mis-colored.
This really pissed me off, as I'd wired a bare
chassis just from the schematic and it would have
been 100% correct if not for the misidentified
wire. I'll probably never sell the car, but
whoever ends up with it will be confused, as a
couple of wires are interchanged from the
schematic. Come to think of it, I should probably
label the flaw ... as soon as I finish all the
other stuff needs fixin'.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Was in the engine bay doing
some preliminary wiring of components
tonight. Specifically, the fuse block and
the voltage regulator. Looking at a wiring
diagram, the way you see in the two pictures
is mostly correct, but look at what the
arrows are pointing at. At the point in the
harness where the wires come out of the loom
for the fuse block, you can see on the right
hand side the arrow is pointing to a brown
wire with a green stripe. Good so far. Now
look what the arrow is pointing at on the
other side of the fuse block. It's a large
solid brown wire. Now in the wiring diagram
this brown wire is supposed to be a
continuation of the brown with a green
stripe wire. That brown wire with the green
strip that was supposed to be there goes to
the "A" connection of the voltage
regulator. Now look at the picture of the
voltage regulator and notice what the orange
arrow is pointing at. It is the other end of
the plain, large brown wire! The electrical
connections are correct. The color coding
of the harness is not. I have just started
wiring. What else might I find in the rest
of the harness? This harness was a gift
from my late friend Tom Rocke. It was one
of many free parts he supplied for this
rebuild. Don't know if I should complain
about a free harness.</div>
