    Image Unavailable, Please Login Getting to know my new acquisition: this small bore hose is not connected at either end. The “other end” hangs down near the air horn compressor. The P clip looks as though it should be attached to the panel. 308QV UK spec.

    It's the dry air intake for the horn - you'll find a fitting on the compressor to plug it into.

    Located the compressor- spigot missing-there’s just the hole. So after faffing with different sized bolts to determine the hole diameter I ordered a right angled barbed joining piece. Might need a dab of mastic but it should fit! I’ll squirt a bit of light oil in in the hope a bit of lubrication will prolong life!

    My '76 GTB has a FIAM compressor for the horns, if I recall correctly. Assume your QV has the same. The compressor has a small port on the top for oiling. The lubrication chart/schedule in the owner's manual even called that out as a lubricating point for regular maintenance.

    Thanks. I recall an oil point on a horn compressor from way back. I’ll take a look. Not a lot of space down there and the compressor is mounted horizontally.

    Mounted horizontally? Surprising.
