1970 Horn Mounting?

[Siegfried K.]

I am mounting the new GM reproduction horns on my 70, but I am unsure of how the passenger side mounts. The drivers side is quite obvious with the mounting tang locating hole, but on the passenger side I am unsure. The car had only one horn mounted when I purchased it. Would anyone have a good picture of exactly how the passenger side horn mounts?

On my 1970, the the passenger side is symmetrical to the driver side from the center of the car.

Unable to give a picture. The passenger side horn on my 1970 is located just behind the vacuum relay looking from the front towards the radiator/condensor.

Thank you for the pictures Mike. They mount as I presumed, however, beside the threaded hold on the passenger side, there is no pilot hole for the bent tang on the horn bracket, but the drivers side has the hole for the tang. Could the nose support bar have been replaced with a newer style one at one time? I have read the 71 and 72 year models only had one horn, maybe the pilot hole was not there on the passenger side on a service replacement part?

Siegfried, the bolded sentence would be my guess. It was 1972 that got the single horn. 1971 had dual horns. At some time later in the C3 era the second horn became an extra cost option.

1971 single horn well at least by my old Sept 70 build. P/N 9000245.

Really, I guess I better stay away from Exterior and Ops -- or get out and do them to brush up.

Hi Paul. Did you mean Sept '70 instead of Sept '71? My model year 1972 is a late August '71 build with a later VIN than 245 . I'm sooo confused...

Good to hear. I was MUCH more worried about me than you...
