Thread: Signal horn 911 -69

    Signal horn 911 -69

    I have searched but have not been able to find an answer. Which signal horn is right for a 911S -69? I can find three different candidates. I'm happy if someone can enlighten me.

    Here’s a photo of one of the horns on my U.S.-spec 1969 911S (build date = March 19, 1969):

    Hi Alan,
    Thanks for the photo. My car has a build date of 10/01 1968. Could it be some other model at that time?

    My early 69 has the snail horns.

    Hi Theunz, When is your car built? It seems that Porsche used up what they had in their warehouse?

    My 69S has snail horns. 100hz and 400hz I think (low/high). They look like these.

    Ok, so we have two of the snail version and one of the round flat. Were there options of different horns?

    A diagram from the PET. No.1 is described as "Horn, low-pitched BOSCH 290, 335 or 380 HZ and high-pitched BOSCH 345, 400 or 520 HZ." No.11 is described as "Fanfare, BOSCH, 300 HZ and 500 HZ," The Fanfare horns appear to have been available for both the 911 and the 912 in 1969.

    Fredrick, I don’t have the build date but the serial number is in the low 500’s. I suspect late 68 or very early 69.

    So here are two different options shown, or?

    I found this when I watched Porsche Classic renovate a 911S -69 in Geneva that makes it three?:
