They seem to be very rare as I have only seen one on eBay once :( :(

Are you looking for a standard 12v C5 but does not matter as I have used this from maplins a FK84F at £3.39.

I have one in my draw of bits I'm my tool box, it's from a car alarm.
It is load and I was going to use that on mine when it's done. Will use the wiring diagram from the handbook to wire it in.

They sound identical to me. I'll see if I can get the one from Maplins, it would be easier. ::)

A lot less hassle as well

And a lot cheaper. They are 3v to 24v as well...................................
I am going to use it on my conversion.............

I'll be getting a 12v one for my c5 hopefully
-
Hi Luke the one I have works from a voltage of 3v all the way to 24v. I tested it using standard 12v.
They are from Maplins FK84 @ £3.59 each.
Here is a photo of the original fitted in the C5 and the one from Maplins.

Thanks ;) ;)

It was sheer luck that my dad found a switch for the horn identical to the original.
Getting the horn from Maplins tomorrow

This advert is now finnished

What have you done about the microswitch though? Have you managed to find a way to operate it from the handlebars? I've always wondered if there's a way to do that... Like if the power button to turn the motor on broke!

Yes we are using the micro-switch on the handlebars. My dad made a bracket for it so it could mount on the handlebars ;) ;)
