  • Indian Power Plus Gatford Horn Mounting

    Hi everyone.
    I have an electric Indian Gatford (spelling?) horn which is correct for my Power Plus.
    I have no clear idea of how the horn mounts to the handle bars.
    Does any on the list have any information (and hopefully photos)on the correct mounting set up for the later Power Plus?
    Thanks in advance, and best wishes.

    Ken.

      Hi mate.
      1922, I've also been trying to sort out what type of button it uses. Button or the lever type. All reports are that it's a button, similar to the Ford Model T type.
      I actually have been given some photos of it by Doug.
      To confound the issue deeper, I'm advised that Indians brought out to Australia, Sth Africa etc could be sold as 'Colonial models' which were some times made up of assorted parts and differed to the US domestic models advertised at the time. I have seen an original Indian Powerplus Colonial Model brochure, which sold recently on Ebay. Unfortunately, I didn't get the bid due to the price it went for (and my need to preserve my marriage!)
      I'll see if I can post the photos on the site of the button and horn.
      Best wishes from Australia.

      Ken.

        1922 Indian Powerplus Horn Button

        And here is the horn, which is the item I need the bracket for.
        If all goes well, Doug may be able to supply the plans for this. I'll keep this thread informed.

            Hi Ken,
            Have you tried contacting Randy Walker Walkermachine.com ? They have helped me with several items with early scout and powerplus bikes. The horn button you are looking for is simular to the one on my early scout and I got it from Randy. Good luck!

              G'day TR.
              I haven't tried Walker Machine as I was advised that they were out of most Power Plus items (by them). Certainly didn't have the last few items I ordered from them, and they were'nt sure if they were getting more PP items in.
              I'll look into it either way, and thanks for the lead.

              Best wishes mate.

              Ken.

                  Thanks for the info, and Happy New Year.
