Default Horn

Can anyone tell me where I can buy a couple new 6-volt horns for my 52 ford?
I bought a couple cheap O's on eBay and they sound like a horn I had on my bicycle years ago. There terrible.. Thanks for any help

Default Re: Horn

I converted my Ranch Wagon to 12 volts and I have been considering using a 12 volt unit from a '57 up car. According to Carpenter it can be used to replace the 6 volt units I currently have. They worked last I knew but it's been sitting for a while after being in body shop hell. I might consider the change over and selling my current 6 volt units BUT the 12 volt replacements are 75 bucks a piece. If you're interested PM me and we can talk.

Does your car have to be running before they work? Mine does and they're not very loud for being two horns there.

My 54 has been converted to 12 volt and still have the 6 volt horns. They sound great and are LOUD. They should be ok as long as you don't do any long blasts.
