Benjamin Horn Bracket

[Parazine]

At some time the Benjamin was mounted on the offside rear two head studs.

Out of interest my 1929 Holden Fabric Saloon has a Benjamin Horn mounted on the Bonnet bar using a correct original bracket while the 1928 Holden bodied Chummy has a Rist on the Bonnet Bar.

Interestingly, the 1927 parts book states that the Benjamin horn "is not used on current models", which implies that it was not fitted from the factory after sometime in 1926. However, many later cars seem to carry them, perhaps because the early cars were broken up and spares were recycled and used up in the thirties and later. Both my Chummy and Top Hat (1927 and 1926) are fitted with Benjamins but they sure aren't original fitments!
