Going to try again, had some new Hella red/ black dual tone horns I installed last year after painting car but they crapped out on me, I have one old original OEM- but just not loud enough to get attention of the idiots that doesn’t look and cuts you off- if I can’t be seen I need to be heard!!
Thanks |

Hey again, Tried to send more pictures, but had problems sending more than one. I’ll try again. Bruce Bruce, I apologize if I'm missing the oblivious. Can you label, or explain the various parts in the image regarding a rebuild for the rest of us who have not done a rebuild? Thanks! |

Can you label, or explain the various parts in the image regarding a rebuild for the rest of us who have not done a rebuild? Thanks! Hello dakotaewing, sorry to have been slow jn responding, just got to the point I could write.I will be glad to explain the rework or i can provide the rebuild service. For me to rebuild a horn it would cost $45.00 ea plus shipping. Not all can be rebuild. The main body is made of bake lite and sometimes cracked. Each piece makes a difference in the sound or it even working. The unit is actually electrode magnet. The round metal plate(brown color)in picture is pulled back and fourth(vibration)that's what makes the noise. The paper gasket(in picture with small little holes) needs to be sandwiched between plate and top cover. Top cover is galvanizes metal(seen some painted). One of the most important things is the is the amount pressure applied to close the rivets. If made to tight horn will not work, (Brown plate) has to be free enough to vibrate. Screw and nuts do not work well, because of vibration nut will unscrew them self's. Small brass washer in between steel plates must be put back in order. Screw in back of of base controls points, which controls electric magnet, which can adjust to high or low tone. That's probably enough info for now, any questions are welcome. Thanks, Bruce |
