Hey guys, was wondering if anyone had fitted an original Morris horn button or aftermarket onto a MotoLita steering wheel?
Cheers
Rick

There is a specific boss to suit the Mk1 horn button

Thanks guys I wanted to get one to fit, I wasn’t sure if mine could fit an original mk1 horn push without and adapter or not. I don’t have an original in hand therefore wanted some advice.
Cheers

I think the B1 H is more of a generic moto-lita boss (standard size and holes) that will fit a number of different vehicles , including the mark 1 mini. It comes with a choice of either a horn push or plain plastic cover. Choice of plastic badges also. You should have one of these in the B1 -H kit.
However if you want to fit original mk 1 horn push gear you must buy the B 1-OE model, as pointed out by Timmy, which has the side drilling. (One of the most expensive!)
I don't know if there are any other differences between these two bosses. For instance I don't know if simply drilling a hole in the side of your boss would allow fitment of an original horn push.

I think the centre hole on the B1 OE is smaller to suit the BMC horn

Thanks.
