Richard,
I am in the process of having 3 Mk1 dashes made up at this time. I am borrowing the top and side panels to have them made up at the same time as well. They will have the horn button hole in them. Let me know if I can help in any way. Three were cheaper to make than one.
Doug

Your carrier, with a hull number of 10131, would not have had the horn. The giveaway is that there would have been a large 1" hole on the upper glacis plate near the driver for the conduit, and there would have been a smaller hole on the angle iron for the horn mounting. I don't have access to the manuals out here, but there was a cut off given for the horn. If I recall it was somewhere in the 3000 to 5000 range. I think they only capped the horn button hole for a while as well.

cheers buddy i have a mk2 pattern which could easily be adapted to become mk1 the only apparent difference is the mk2 rear fenders have the extra lip on the bottom edge of the fender. Dirk is a nightmare to nail down !
