Lucas 9H backet screw thread

Post by Charlynsane »

Hello Guys

I finally found a 10/63 dated 9h hornfor my 997 Cooper

Unfortunately the screw that holds the horn on the bracket is missing,

I enclosed some pictures for reference

Does anyone know the original part number? or maybe a replacement part?

Thank you for your help

Just to start the ball rolling I'd say that it looked like an old BS-Whitworth. A firm favourite of early Lucas.

It looks a bit like a big self tapper like the OE supplied with the Scottish sump guard.
