    Navigator/Passenger Horn Button

    I know there were various methods used for passenger-side (navigator) horn buttons - dash mounted, floor mounted, hand-held, etc... I have pics of the dash-mounted horn location in the 911R (left of steering column), but that's not what I'm referring to.

    Does anyone have photos of the passenger-side floor-mounted or dash-mounted horn button location?

    Thanks,
    Jordan

    Sorry about the similar request on the rare options thread. I would love to see a picture or two.

    Could someone who owns a car that has one of the above mentioned horn buttons please share a photo or two? Or perhaps if you have vintage rally photos that show either of those button locations, even if they are blurry or grainy...

    Thank you for any input.

    This is the switch that i've seen installed on the passenger wooden floor board, in both 911 and 356 cars, it's a 356 back up light switch.

    Thanks,
    On the '68 T R from Toivonen (Monte #116) it was the 356 A head light signal switch. It's taller and thinner than Ernie's switch but similar style and runs through the floor board as well.

    Also the above switch is a push button on type switch with a 2 wire screw terminal in the back, the R is #5 and it uses a similar type switch.

    Yes, this is the type of switch I have seen, but it seemed a little small for a foot-operated switch.

    Thanks for those shots, guys

    Anyone else have shots?
