PB1954RNS Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) Looking for a Lucas Type HF - 1235 Electric Horn for the Albion BY5, I have tested the horn I have but just makes a 'Burping' noise. So can any one help with a replacement or where I can get another one. OR Can anyone recommend a company who can repair it to make it sound like a horn again instead of it sounding like it has wind !

Some old horns are reasonable easy to strip and clean, depends wether it is a metal or , can't think of the name of the stuff! diaphram like old telephones.

PB1954RNS Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 Hi. A couple of photos to show the type of Lucas horn I have. Any help towards getting it cleaned and working as it should be will be most welcome. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 That's a pretty common horn, fitted to many post war vehicles and still in use today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hall Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Google Taff the horn, he is the go to man for Lucas and clear hooters horns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Normally the problem is the spring has got rusty or tierd. Open up and clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PB1954RNS Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 Just to add to my last message that I have found on the World Wide Web,the Lucas Workshop Instructions for electric horns - 6 & 12volt Models HF 1234 - 1235. So will have a read of the instructions over the weekend and looks very easy to sort out - will either have a electric horn that sounds loud and proud or will be messed up and hidden at the back of the shed and carry on looking for a new one!
