David - Haven't found an example of how it was mounted originally - even Piggott's books don't show the later cars with the B/U light. [see note below re: Jonmac] Alex Manzo made brackets and mounted

Does anyone know of a source for a Triumph Logo horn button for a Grant steering wheel? I could have sworn I'd seen them one time, but can't seem to find them now. Should have bought one back then.

I think I like John's explanation and placement better, as a balance to the tailpipe below the rear apron. Although I think it would be hard to have the mounting stem go all the way to the boot floor

The L494 is mentioned in the 1959 (I think that's the year) Lucas 400e catalog on page K18. The copy I have came courtesy of Andy Mace. You can download a copy of the catalog here http://campkahler/

Too bad you don't have a Lotus. The stock horn button from a Lotus Europa fits directly into a Grant GT wheel without tools. One of the things I miss most about by old Europa. Phil Ethier West Side S

Sounds like a perfect description of Herman van den Akkers kit (HVDA). You source the Celica gearbox, he supplies everything else. It literally uses the stock lever, in the stock location. Oh wait,

Can't say enough good things about Herman's customer service or the quality of the kit. Nfi - just a satisfied customer. I found two transmissions at about 115 dollars each. I found a tr4a flywheel v
