750 horn mount (no pun intended)

[Paul Marx]

I have a pair of Fiam trumpet horns to mount on my SF only, I don't have the bracket to mount them.
I shall be making one but it may avoid some fiddling if someone could post a rough drawing with measurements.

Thanks in advance
Paul

Here you can see the bracket how it`s made:

Paul,
I think these brackets were also used on "R" Series BMWs. They are not a simple strip of metal but 3 stips held by the mounting eyelet in order to deal with vibration. Specialist BMW shops have them. Regards,
Ian

Ok, thanks to both of you for the info.
Looks like I'll make up a U shaped bracket using flat 2 or 3mm aluminium plate I have lying around which I'll double up for damping and paint black for discretion which is the better part of valour.
I'll lockwire everything up since vibration appears to concentrate in that area, I've lost a couple of horns. ( no pun again!)

Those Fiams will be useful for dozy French drivers.

Ciao a tutti
Paul

Probably best to use thin steel. Alu would be too brittle. I think the idea is the bracket needs to vibrate too.

Is it possible to buy those Fiamm horns anywhere these days (as an aftermarket part)?

Paul, dont copy the original bracket and its leaf spring mounts make up something better useing some tripple type exhaust rubbers or some cheapo engine mounts from a car shop (maybe), you know it will only break if you dont isolate with a bonded rubber mount! and a couple of black cable ties discreetly atatched can give a lifleline if it all breaks anyway.

Not white ones

< ey Joe, where you going with that white cable tie in your hands.

You have a point Clem about the rubber mounting and with all due respect, you'll find plenty of triple exhausts rubbers on various twins.

All the best
Paul
