It's starting to bug me. The horn button is located on the passengers side of the center switches (next to the wipers). It's been like that since I bought it, some five years ago, but it's starting to bug me now for some reason. A clubby indicator stalk wont fit a roundy without a bit of modification to the outer column as far as I know, and it needs a different shroud. I don't want to install the whole column because it's a fair bit shorter. And I have a formuling wheel with no provision for a horn button.

Where else can I put it, that's within easy reach?

What about a horn button mounted on the steering wheel spoke with a telephone cord like lead (from Jaycar or Dick Smith) connecting to the steering column, that would probably look pretty OK....

Or fit a clubby column and shroud and indicator?

Just thoughts....

Anto,
My 1970 matic has the clubby horn button, what year is your car, you must have the old Mk1 setup. Indicator light on the end of blinker switch?

Yup, that's the one, although there isn't a light on the end anymore, just a long chrome stick

I was looking at clubby style blinker stalks, looks like you could fit it but would have to remove the tabs to hold the original shroud on, which means no going back...

<edit>Was just looking at it now, looks like a clubby one will fit without removing the tabs, it doesn't quite line up perfectly with the canceller bolt but still works. Interestingly the reason my indicators never ever cancelled properly might just be because the canceller bolt points in the wrong direction to cancel at the right time!

ive got that set up only every 3rd round about you need to do a bit of untangling

I think you should be able to fit a clubman indicator stalk without modifications, but yeah, you need the clubman shroud....

on the self cancelling - the bolt in the bottom of the steering column should be at horizontal, and closest to the floor when the wheels are pointing straight ahead, then the canceller lug will be in the right spot it was designed that way

what sort of steering wheel do you have? can you hook up the centre button?

Put a foot pedal for the horn, so when you slam the breakes you can also slam the horn, o but which leg will do the clutch

I've got a formuling wheel and it can't take a horn button. At the moment when the steering is pointing straight ahead the canceller lug on the column points straight up, which I don't think is right. I'll check it all tomorrow and try to get it right.

yeah, pull the wheel off the column, pull the column off and turn it around - later cars had a mark in the end of the column pointing up, but yours wouldn't have it....

turn the wheel all the way one way and then half way back to find the centre
