Are these 240Z horns?

Hi all,

I have a set of old 240Z horns I have had for years. Well I think they came from a 240Z. The problem is they don't have the same mounting bracket that attach to the outer ring like the ones I see in other threads. The mounting brackets use the two some M8 holes to mount to the body, but the bracket attaches to the center post on the horn like the later 280Z.

The horns have the original drab green colour.

The other thing is they don't have any date stamp. Its blank after the word Date.

The last two photos show the difference (front) with the later 280Z horn and the 280Z Date A5 stamped on it.

I like the sound of these more than my 280Z horns and was interested where they came from originally.

Thanks for any background info

Chas

Thanks Chris,

 

Your horns show the differences good. They don't have a center stud for the bracket. I have never seen my 240Z type with the centre bolt attachment before. That is what got me wondering if these are really of a 240Z. Unfortunatly I have no history on them.

No date stamp is also strange. Maybe these are genuine replacements and Nissan made them from a combination of early and later styles?

I haven't attempted pulling them apart yet.

I teared the gaskets in the 280Z horns when I did them. Ended up drawing them in autoCAD and printing it on 120gram tan coloured A4 paper and cutting them out.

That could be the reason my 280Z horns have a different sound to these ones. I have no baesline for refference.
