Horn push

Bit of an anorak moment,just watching the Autocar test drive of the new lightweight e type. Horn push is a modern replica part the Jaguars head ears are in the white squares not the black of the original part.

Found the problem, PO had screwed finger swipe arm to the rack frame! :evil:
Perhaps without the cable he wanted to keep the arm out of the way. Spent 3 hours being James Herriott now I know the problem will finish job when I take car off the road, when the salt hits!
