Lopez, I sent you a PM.

Fred · 01-02-2015, 07:34 PM

That is for a 1928 model A & can be very expensive..

From the RG&JS the horn would be correct for a 1929 vehicle.

RG&JS page 19-3 Revised 2011

E. A. Laboratories horn used from Mid 1928 through 1929.

E. A. Laboratories horn used from 1927 - Early 1928

It appears to be different then the RG and JS drawings.

Yes it appears to be a mix of the two sketches in the RG&JS. It has the "Adjust" and the raised end rather than the indented end???

The one in the photo is correct....

Are you saying that there is an error in sketches in the RG&JS page 19-3 Revised 2011?

In re reading the RG&JS the horn appears to be the 1927 to early 1928 EA horn, but with the "ADJUST' engraving that was used in the mid 1928 to 1929 EA Horn.

1928

There were 2 covers on the EA Lab.'s [NY] ''Model FM'' horn.
The 1928 version had the raised centre with the embossed writing, adjust. screw & cover screw. That is the one in the photo; 1928.
Later for 1929 on, the cover is as shown in those JS drawings .
At the most, they [ the '28 version cover] could have been used into early '29, depending on where the car was assembled.

Thanks guys for inpute, it must be the early 28 model as the center is raised like in JS drawings...will finish restoring it.

Well,...it could be an omission or "error",...it happens and I think the
JSC have done a wonder job.
Ya, i missed it when I have looked in the JS. The only reason I said
it was "correct" is, it looks right from the E.A. horn that I have.

Sometimes the illustrations are an artist rendering and not an actual photo. I am not sure about the horn illustrations.
