It seems the Morris horn push has been remade. Both the centre M and the complete assembly are available from Somerford. Attachment: Horn Push Somerford.jpg http://www.somerfordmini.co.uk/eshop/in ... ts_id=3053 http://www.somerfordmini.co.uk/eshop/in ... ts_id=4867 |

It'd be nice to see how good they look in person, but for around $50 they might be a better option than trying to find a good condition genuine one. They are bit closer to my budget than a NOS one https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/canterb ... 1190833134 |

They are totally different M font to the original and colour is wrong. Not sure why they wouldn’t check the font before getting them made. Orignalminis |

I wonder why they didn't just copy an original? Someone did a run of repros several years back. The inserts were pretty good, but the black plastic horn press part wasn't great, they were thin and didn't have the same kind of gloss as the old plastic. They did both Morris and Austin ones but they mustn't have done as many Morris ones because they ran out a long time ago, but you can still get the horn press, and possibly the Austin inserts. That reminds me, I should get back to my Mini K badge project. Tim |

I have a few NOS ones of the original M if anyone is interested before they hit Ebay. |
