Welcome, Brian. As with all Italian cars, there will be a significant amount of adapting- by YOU- to fully enjoy your 42-year-old machine. The horn circuit is 'interesting'. Mine abruptly quit, and starting behind a removable shield in front of the right front wheel with a VOM and a portable 12v source, the power goes from a hot wire at the button through many feet of wire to the horns, then back to the button and is grounded in a solder-spot half-way up the stalk. There is a fuse. My eventual fix was to reheat the solder-spot while pressing inward on the wire. Note that much of the wiring is from Lucas of England as are many of the electrical accessories. The wiper arms, motor and blades are late-'60s Jaguar, or sometimes Carillo. Good luck- J Deryke

   I am sorry for sending all these emails to everyone. I just joined this
   Panera club forum this morn. I did NOT realize I was sending these
   emails to everyone in the club. Im a classic car dealer in
   Rochester,Mn  not a email or forum junky.  I just took a cool Fully
   restored Pantera on trade and I am looking for a pair of wiper arms. Im
   also wondering what the trick to fix horn. I assume I need to push the
   blinker lever in for horn?  Thanks for explaining.     Brian Braaten
