Default Re: Replacement 6V horn

I do not know if these would be options for you, but the 35-37 pickup horns that mounted on the outside are small enough to go elsewhere...brackets to mount them would be very simple to make. I have a set of NOS 6-v Sparton horns out in the shop somewhere that are not trumpet type...I do not think they are Ford,but are certainly smaller and might fit in a variety of places where they would not be casually visible.

After some thought I decided to use my trumpet horns. After I cleaned them, painted them, and redid the mounting brkt. They look good.

Well done! You're right, they do look good, I'll bet they sound good too.

Factory designers didn't put the dual horns in as a focal point. Rather than detract, they added their small beauty as a final touch. A beautiful blue hardtop body is the focal point. The classic red tail light is the accent. Henry's men put it together with the entire field of vision in mind.

The horns were painted black originally and blended in with the inner fenders.
Paint your block a brighter green than the dull original color, and fit some polished alloy heads, and intake manifold. This will help make the engine the focal point.
