More news on the horn front. I have contacted Lynn Isaac aka Taff the Horns via his website (http://www.taffthehorns.com) and he has provided a rapid and interesting response, part of which I will reproduce here:
The Scott was the only Brit Bike to actually use one of the New Jersey Registered fm 1909 Klaxon outfit’s Klaxon KIFO. these were produced for Europe in France fm circa 1930 right up to the 2nd WW, the Registered office 1 Ru de Rue, when after WW2 the French tried to raise hard currency, it was opposed vehemently by all BRITISH Manufacturers & Klaxon Kifo had to be imported to Claude Rye Deeprose Marble Arch Elrico Hobday & Pride & Clark, for sale as Desmo, & Prima in USA for a fraction of what a Lucas Altette costs, they were better hooters too albeit not as hermetically resilient to weather!. their Import Reg was Holland Park London W1, rarely can the old brass tab be found so a London one may be needed.Lynn (or Taff) has KIFO parts available from which he can build 6v Scott horns, although I do not have a price at present. He is quoting 4 months to complete but does not require payment until after dispatch, receipt and approval of a horn.
In passing Lynn has some other very interesting sites concerning vintage racing in Wales , which I can recommend as completely absorbing. The sites can be accessed via the horn site and that concerning sand racing includes at least one picture of a Scott at races on Oxwich Sands in the late 20’s.
