1950 golden flash horn button

[gary]

hi. just had a question on horn button. i have original dipper switch that screws into clutch lever perch i also have same perch on front brake lever. did original horn button go on the brake lever? the part number for horn button is 76206B but that shows button that clamps to handle bar. any thoughts. thanks

76206 certainly looks like it fits on the brake lever. Below from Lucas master catalogue 1936-57 issue.

On my '51 the horn button is on the back of the clutch lever and the mag cut-out is on the back of the brake lever. As far as I can tell the levers and (matching) buttons are original not aftermarket.

The dip switch is mounted on the left lever, the horn button on the left lever and the magneto cut-out is the same type of switch as the horn button but has a clamping saddle to mount on the handlebar in the centre below the damper knob.

thanks for reply,s i see in the picture they are showing the horn button that screws on perch. are these available any where? when i do search keeps brining up the 76204 which clamps to handlebar.

They do come up on ebay sometimes, but expensive;

If you look at this earlier posting of a road test from the US magazine "Cycle" of a 1950 Golden Flash it gives the control layout under "General Specifications"

That Ebay item is the type I have on mine. At least something on the bike is original anyway..
