Dual Horns

[Merle Coggins]

I picked up these dual horns at the Fall Jefferson Swap Meet this past year. The guy wasn't sure what they came off of, but was pretty sure it was a 6 volt Mopar. He also didn't know if they would work, but the price was right and I couldn't pass them up.

Now my questions. The mounting bracket is considerably wider than the one that my original horn mounted to. For those who have dual horns on your trucks, is the bracket that bolts to the firewall different (wider) than the standard one? Or am I just going to have to modify this one to fit my truck firewall bracket?

Also, the horn relay that is attached has 3 terminals. One is attached to the horns, so I assume that one it the output. Of the other two, which is batery power and which goes to the horn button. I can't seem to find any marking on it to designate the terminals. Probably painted over. I could connect an Ohm meter and problably figure it out, but I thought I'd tap in to the brain trust here first before I go and get my hands dirty.

I sure hope these work. I'm hoping they sound better than the single horn.

The holes on my dual horn bracket are 2 3/4 inches apart, so that may give you a reference. Your small horn is much shorter than mine, so your setup looks similar, but the the same. By the way, it's taken me years to get a set of dual horns and it's only through the graciousness of Reg that I was able to snag a pair when we visited him in last summer. Thanks again Reg!. So glad you got a pair at a great price.

nice find, merle.

the bracket looks about the same size as the single horn bracket in my '48, in terms of width. hard to say without measuring, though. good luck, in any event.

edit: i went and looked more closely at the bracket. that two-horn bracket is wider for sure.
