bracket for LUCAS Altette Horn

[wolfgang.thaller@avl.com]

Dear T-Type Drivers, Last weekend I bought on an oldtimer exhibition an original LUCAS Altette Horn for my TC. The horn is in a good condition and the price was OK (GBP 42,-). Unfortunately the horn is equiped with a non original bracket. Does anybody of you know where I can get an original bracket to an acceptable price ? On the exhibition I had the chance to get an original unused LUCAS SFT462 fog light for a really good price (German Mark 600,-). It was really an original fog light and not a reproduction. But my TC has the chassis no. TC4170 and therefore I am looking for the LUCAS FT27 fog lamp. Does anybody of you know a source where I can get the FT27 fog light. Thank you and enjoy your T-Type Wolfgang with TC4170 from rainy Austria

Wolfgang, I took the old orginal horn off my car a few years back and believe I can find the mounting bracket for it. You're welcome to it if you can't find something closer to your home. Let me know. Gene

Hello Wolfgang, I bought a very good reproduction FT27 fog lamp from Keith Ardley Telephone and fax: 01353 778493 and the price was 150 in 1999. I think he's the source for the good repros that the dealers sell. He's based in Ely, Cambridgeshire, England. Hope this helps, Brian.> -----Original Message-----

hello Wolfgang - original FT27 foglamps are too valuable to put on the front of a TC, where any clown in a euro trashbox can destroy it with his bumper. but try Abingdon Spares, because a few years ago Jerry found a lot of original lenses. he then had the rest of the lamps reproduced to use them up! ocTagonally TCRoger

Experience with Alabama 'trashboxes": I have TWICE broken my FT27 bracket off. Once my fault when I parked and 'touched' the rear bumper in front of my TC. They other time, a car unparking apparently backed into mine. Fortunately, both times the light fell behind the badge bar, and was insecurely riding there when I found it. A new bracket, primer and paint returned the light to proper position. I know bumpers/fenders would offer some protection, but they clutter up the front of a TC to my eye. Paul Huck
