Bracket for Lucas HF1440

Someone who has measure on the bracket for Lucas HF1440 horn on the early M20 or know how it should look?
someone who knows what's different on HF1440 vs HF1441?

Re: Bracket for Lucas HF1440

The HF1440 has two prominent square brass terminals on the side (see one of mine). The HF1441 has two screws on the back. Look at 'Electrical' in the technical section on this site. Ron

Re: Bracket for Lucas HF1440

Hello Michael,

The model and location of the horn changed
From the front to the left side under the saddle,
Depending of year and contract.

The most common, I believe was the Lucas Alette.

Noam.

As far as I can see. The HF1140 was early 39/40 then the HF1141 followed by the HF1235 Altette. I don't know when the changes actually took place, but I expect Henk might have an idea from his photos? Ron

Re: Bracket for Lucas HF1440

Looking at the photos I have, the latest WM20 that still has the horn under the saddle has tank number C4663538. The first one after that with the horn (HF1235) in front of the engine has tank number C4665118 which is WM20 61410.

So it looks like the change to Altette was during the end part of contract C11101 (10,000 bikes) probably in 1942. Ron

Re: Bracket for Lucas HF1440

Thanks Ron, Henk and everyone for answers.
should fit to a M20 from 1938 and I now understand that it should be HF1440 thats right.
Have a H1441, is there anyone who has a H1440 for sale or a loose house then I may move over remnants from my HF1441
