Don't know if this might help you - http://www.mgocspares.co.uk/acatalog/MGOC_Spares_HORN___SWITCHES___WIRING__midget__154.html

A copy of this would show you - http://www9.mgcars.org.uk/cgi-bin/gen5?runprog=mgocregalia&id=294631277911288&mode=item&itemid=0016&cat=Parts%20Lists

Toggle switch replacements are common, it should be a sprung (momentry) one of 35 amps but usually they are the 5 amp switchs so can run into trouble with both horns working

Also better than the Haynes for everyday things is to buy the original owners Handbook - http://www9.mgcars.org.uk/cgi-bin/gen5?runprog=mgocregalia&id=294631277911288&mode=item&itemid=0058&cat=Handbooks

I have a very cool bright red switch on the bottom of the dashboard - which means that it's hard for me to get - so saves alot of noise :)
