Meep Meep Horns!

[MyOtherRidesAVette]

Doing research for my rear fog thread and came across this. There was a recent thread about meep meep horns and there install. This is a very old web page, but the install hasn't changed, and if the phone # for the $12.95 horn is no longer, try Googling the p/n. Hella IS the manufacturer for OEM VW parts including the foglights.

Can I install a classic "meep meep" horn?
Vintage Hella 12 volt horns, part #113 951 113A can be purchased for $10.95 ea. from Mid-America Designs 1-800-LUV-BUGG (588-2844).
Mitch Perry offers these instructions for installation:

I now have a Meep-Meep horn. It would be simple for a Shade Tree mechanic, this was the first time I have worked on a car, since '82. I printed the 2 previous posts I found with the digest search engine, and with part number in hand, called NAPA. They did not stock it, but directed me to NOPI, who specializes in import parts. A half hour drive round trip plus $15, and I had a new/old horn.
Al Borlen approach: Tools required: 1-12mm socket, with 9 inch extension. Supplies - silicon, 2-6 inch pieces of wire, with a one male fitting, and female fitting on each. electrical tape, 67 VW horn p/n 111-951-113-A, (got mine at NIPO auto parts)
Time - 10 minutes
If you can get the car up on something, where you have better clearance, this would really help.

1. Remove horns with 12 mm socket, located below front left light, in front of wheel, accessed from bottom.
2. Detach the electrical by pushing, then pulling, and tape one connector back out of the way (won't be used).
3. Attach both 6 inch pieces of wire to the other connector, male end, and the female end to the new horn. (these are 1/4 (I think, but they were the only size Home Depot carried of this type). The male is flat, like a spatula, and the female is flat, but the sides are curled up, so the male slides in it.)
4. Silicone all connections and the unused connector.
5. Attach new horn with 12 mm socket. (You may need to use the old bracket from the socket horns, or get out the hammer & chisel, if your new one came with a pre-attached nut).
