In my car they were screwed to a bracket in front of the nearside front wheel arch. Very easy to get to if you just turn the wheel all the way around to the right.

presuming they are the same as the 912. then as Jamie says they are mounted on a bracket just behind each horn grill.

easier to get to if you can raise the car up.

not got a picture showing the fitment but have got a picture of the horns
Larry took them out to clean them

spot the clean one

That's odd - mine had two, both mounted behind only the nearside horn grille. Bitsa alert.

Started driving to the MOT station the other say and realised the horn no longer worked. Only 34 years before failure! Very poor. Had to buy one for a mercedes from GSF to get it passed. Is a horn a horn or you think originality important here?

That should be the windscreen washer bottle, I should guess

Unless of course it is a special undercarriage cleaning equipment that is installed at each corner to spray an agent, under pressure, the arches and ancilliries clean....
(hello and yes im back!)

The plastic 'bottle' is part of the fuel tank vapour venting system.

Quite, but these guts do always leave a trace in the towing eye. Therefore, the system requires an extension which, no doubt, will be provided in version 3.0.
