'35 horns
A friend owns a '35 cabriolet with a set of chrome horns. I think they are repros as the originals have only the top chromed. And these look new.
They sound terrible. 1. Is there a fix to make these repros sound better. 2. Does someone make a better sounding set. 3. Does someone have an old set that could be used as a donor set for the guts? Thanks, David 207-590-0180 |

I had a '36 half-ton that I bought, and it did not have a functioning horn. hmmm. Fer grins, I bought a '46/'47 (one piece dual long-tube trumpet horns online. Upon receiv'g them, I see that the 'insides' were/are exactly like the '36 horn! Did a switch and I had a '36 working horn! Your '35 horn is typical EFV8 horn til the late '40s. Have patience and check it out with those you trust. I posted here not long ago regarding my horn restoration. Hopefully you can find it. If not let me know. For instance . . . The screen pattern is common and available in hardware stores. Use your old screen as a pattern. Horn resto is a fun project. Keep in touch, if you want to chat about it. highbeams |
