| John Copello should have new horn kits in stock any week now. At the last Sacto bug o rama I gave him one of his old kits to use as a template (he didn't have any more kits to work from). As was posted earlier he used original parts from my 59 Ghia to make the kit. I believe the parts work for both 58 and 59 Ghias since the base of the horn ring did not change, only the attaching points for the different horn ring covers. I prefer the metal cover horn rings myself. The cover and Wolfsburg crest are nice and crisp and even though they are incorrect for my 59 Ghia I put them on any way : ) |
