#1 S1 horn mounting position

Post by phoenix » Thu Nov 28, 2024 2:11 pm

Hi I am trying to work out the correct orientation of the horns. I have the two brackets mounted on the picture frame but at the moment they are pointing down and are very low and will catch water etc. I can't seem to find a picture of them mounted anywhere. Thanks guys

This drawing shows the late S1/S2 horn mounting. Earlier S1's had a different style, larger horn mounted inside the bonnet more or less below the sugar scoops.

In the late S1 version horns should point forward. Two parts to the mounting, the bracket visible here then the smaller triangular piece that fastens under the horn.
