#1. Where exactly does the horn mount on a 67 squareback?
#2. Is the washer bottle horizontal or vertical on a 67 squareback? |

1. The horn on my 67 square is on the turn signal lever.
2.I wish i knew, or had one to wonder about.
The PO installed a brand new steering wheel with a new horn button on it. The horn on the signal lever may not be original to the car. Now that i think about it, my car is not original in many ways. Hector _________________ 67 Ghia coupe, Retired military.

The horn itself is mounted under the left front bumper. As for the washer bottle, IIRC, it is a horizontal one. _________________ Society is like stew. If you don't keep it stirred up, you end up with a lot of scum on the top!--Edward Abbey

That is actually my dash. My horm actuator (not button) is on the turn signal lever!!! Must not be correct then. I suppose that is what the under dashmat metal would look like with no pad. Let me know if anyone needs any pics of certain spots close up. _________________ 67 Ghia coupe, Retired military.

yep, i pulled that pic from your gallery. your horn actuator is probably an aftermarket piece. i recall having a car (not VW) that had the horn on the signal stalk, by design. i can't remember what kind of car it was. 70's ford galaxie 500, maybe?
i think the center mounted tach is nice too. i'd worry about my passenger's knees with the stereo there, though. i've been thinking of building a console that connects to the radio mounts, that houses a tach in the center but still keeps the radio in the original place. much like the ones readily availible for beetles, or adapting one of those to fit _________________ 1988 Ford Festiva L

there is always the option of an Australian Type 3 console - mounts the tach right there for you.... _________________ póg mo thóin
