gogs56 Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 Does anybody know what the bracket shown in the attached picture, on my OSSA MAR MK3 frame is for? Is it for mounting a horn? If so, does anybody have a horn that fits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section swept Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 Your frame looks good is that powder coat? The mounting arrowed in your photo looks the right shape but I’m not sure it would have been mounted that far back and the location would see it underneath the saddle and probably causing fouling issues with the air box and the horn might be so shrouded as to not be audible when the engine is powering the bike. My friend of many years past ran an Ossa MAR and the horn was mounted up just underneath the head stock sitting neatly between the twin down tubes, as his favourite practice sections tended to be rivers the horn rarely if ever worked. The regulations would dictate a forward facing mounting before the engine to allow it to be heard. In the interests of authenticity I’m not sure what the arrowed bracket is for but I’m certain you’ll be informed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 Yes the horn goes there although I've never seen one. Probably some of the specialists ion Spain may sell them as they do a lot of original and repro parts. In the UK, no idea apart from being luck on ebay - but the chances of one working if you found one.... This place has a big range of parts http://www.motosdelabuelo.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogs56 Posted August 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 Not powder coated. I rubbed down the paint on the frame, it had been (hand ?)painted black. Then sprayed it with rattle cans. Three coats of primer, four top coats (silver fox). Thanks for the info Woody. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
