Horn Restoration/Rebuilding...
 

What is the website of the shop the rebuilds original horns? I know the site is floating around here somewhere but I cannot find it.

Super Car Workshop... paging Brian, can you guys rebuild horns?

Thanks.

It sounds kind of back yardish but try this. Spray about a half a can of WD40 into the horn and rotate it around to get it into the rams horn to the center. Unscrew the adjuster screw and spray in there also. Gently tap the horn with a hammer. Horns normally dont work because the metal contacts under the adjuster screw corrode together and then create a short. This worked on a bad set of horns that I had for my Z11 that were date code correct for the car. Some good tapping, some WD 40 and then hooking them up to 12 volts and they sound loud as new.

I think we should start a new forum section: "Back Yard Tricks" It might net some interesting results. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

If the "backyard trick" doesn't work I can tell you that The Horn Works does a great job restoring horns. I had them do a horn for me recently and it came back perfect.

I had 2 sets of horns redone by him and just got them back. They look great and man, I didnt realize my horns were that loud. One set was for my 69 Camaro and the other for my 71 ElCamino. He gave me a price break for 2 sets and I actually sent him a Ford horn that I didnt realize was on the Elky. He had some spare pieces and put together the correct horn for me and didnt charge any extra for it. About a 2 week turnaround.
