1940 horn

[Rodney Bullock]

I am looking for a horn for my 1940 Plymouth, I have the bracket I just need the horn. Anybody got one? I need it....bad.

These horns are shorter with a a fatter trumpet than the P15..

Rodney,

Does your '40 have dual trumpet horns like my '40 Dodge (see photo)?

Fellas, I wish I knew what they looked like, when I got my car there where no horns or bracket. One day down leon's junk yard I saw a 1940 p-9 and got the bracket out of it. the bracket is shaped like a enlonged "u" with four hole base(large) at the fire wall and four hole(small) base that bolts to the horn. I don't know if it's two horns or one. I do know that once install it takes up alot of room under hood.

Rodney;

I have my original P-15 horns as pictured. I will bring them to Sulley.

Rodney,

If I did this right, you should see the trumpet horns on my P-10 Plymouth Business coupe

Hope this helps,

Don there is not much room under my hood so I need the exact horn that goes there I will post a pic of the bracket if your horn can be attached to it I will use it.

Rodney,

Here are a set of correct, original P-10 horns.

Sorry about the size of the photos. I think it is all the larger allowed.

Hope that you can see the mount.

[Rodney Bullock]

This is the horn bracket to my horn, if your horn has the small 4 hole pattern that this bracket has it will fit, please let's make a deal. If I don't have this horn in place I don't think I want to drive my plymouth as a horn is needed in todays traffic. Please look in your attic's, baby cribes along your property lines. I need this horn something bad. One othr question does this horn need a horn relay? You guy's with p-9,p-10, p-11 do you have a horn relay? where is it located?

[40phil41]

Rodney,

This is exactly the same as the bracket on my '40. The relay mounts to this bracket as well as the pair of horns. I'll try to get you a photo of the installed setup tomorrow.

Rodney,

The wiring diagram in my 1941 factory manual shows a relay only with the dual horns and a direct connection for the single horn.

Rodney,

Here are a couple of pics of the horn mounting on my '40 Dodge. I don't know if your Plymouth is the same or not. Note that the large end of the bracket you posted attaches to the firewall, the horns bolt to the small end and the relay hangs underneath using the two small holes in the horizontal part in your photo.

Hope this helps.

Rodney;

I believe my horns will work for you. I may have a relay but I will have to look for it.

[DEADMAN RUNNING]

i just purchased a 41 plymouth but not sure just yet if the horns are there or not....will check and get back to you! will they work for ur 40?

[claybill]

rodney..your bracket attaches to the firewall...then there is another bracket to hold both horns...also a U shape holes offset to attach horns.

i sent pics but probably didnt go thru..major computer flub over the weekend.

and..ym set up looked perfect for you but stamped on the back was 12v !!!

i remember they were installed on my 40 coupe with a sbc in it...sorry.

i dont know but the single horn might be the big bull horn looking thing.

Rodney,

The horns I sent a photo of are exactly what you are looking for. I picked them up two years ago at Hershey (They were turned upside down so they did not fill with water:) ). Even the original paint on them is good, also have the original relay. Bolt and go on these horns, that is why I bought them.

Paid $85.00, down from the $100.00 asking price for the whole assembly. Might have been a bit high, but they are what they are, and they are real clean and not the easiest to find. Only thing missing is the bolts to attach to the firewall.

If you are still interested, drop me a line.

I have a Dodge D14, and the mechanic was trying the horns with a 12v tester...worked once, now dead...anywhere I can get replacements?
