OK you guys are getting way too technical when you speak of the "thingy"
and, by the way, naming a Healey PANDORA is a stroke of genius. Opening up
the mythical Pandora's box released all the evils in the world and I think
that sometimes when I start a project on my BN6, I am doing the same as one
thing always leads to 15 to 20 others. I now have 5 pages of to do's all
starting with my insane desire to replace the exhaust system and thinking
-"Well, as long as it is up on stands, why not . . . . . . ."

Don,

such?"

have air horns, and a fault like this is obvious to all around. It got
progressively worse and on Thurs. I disconnected the horn. Since it was very
wet down there I didn't do much diagnosing. I cannot find evidence of a
ground at the bottom of the steering column, nor at the horn itself. My next
step is to attack the "horn blow" system on the column. Has anyone
encountered the air horn relay being sensitive to decelleration? As soon as
PANDORA gets home I will do more analysis. Is it correct that the "RING,
horn push retaining " is pressed into the bakelight thingy and can be
removed gingerly with a thin putty knife or such? By the way, our first
Conclave was a blast. Hope we can do it again (if  PANDORA ) cooperates.
