Dropped headlight bar horn mounting
 

I have an after market dropped headlight bar on my 31 coupe. The dropped distance precludes installing the original horn on the bottom of the left light stud. Does anyone know of an available horn bracket that will allow the use of the horn with a dropped headlight bar?

I'd try the H.A.M.B for an answer on this one.

I would change the bar to stock unless it is a street rod!

That is a HAMB issue, but the answer is in all probability is that you will have to mount the horn elsewhere, such as under the car, unless you go back to a stock height bar.

Have you considered a '32 style horn (they can be made from an A horn with a little work) mounted on the fender like a '32?

I have a 29 tudor project I am finishing up. It has a dropped headlight bar with the horn mounted to it. The previous owner mounted the horn using a shift arm from a Muncie 4 speed. It's tight but it fits good and looks pretty good. I'll try to post a picture or two in the next couple of days

I have a '29 with a dropped headlight bar and took a piece of 1/4" X 1" strap and made an offset of about 2". Looks like it belongs!

I apologize for not getting the photo's posted that I promised. I ended up out of town for work and was not able to take them. I see the post from denis4x4 and this looks exactly the same as my set up.
