Horns???

Post by TBill » Wed Mar 18, 2020 7:48 am

I have a horn for a 1926 Fordor on backorder from Lang’s. According to Mac’s online catalog (used for reference only) these are not currently in production.

Does anyone have further info on this?

Maybe Lang’s has an answer. I would ask them.

I would check with the other parts dealers to see if anybody still has one in stock.

I think Fun Projects was the manufacturer of these. Fun projects is now owned by Birdhaven in Iowa. They would probably be the best place to ask.

Bill-
I think I have one of those horns stashed away.
I'll take a look and send you a message.

Check vendors for used horns if you need one sooner than later. Lang's supplied a used one for me and tested it before I paid them, I'm happy. jb

The horn is the same as the earlier models. The difference is the bracket.

Do you need a 6 volt or 12 volt horn? Originals were only 6 volt. Originals are plentiful. Fun Projects made a 12 volt horn. As has been said, the only difference in both is the mounting bracket used for 26-27 or 25 and earlier.

Keith has a brand new in the box 6v horn. We closed the deal. Very reasonable man. THANKS

This Forum is a really terrific resource. I have acquired some hard to find parts and received some great advice.

Thanks ALL, and let’s keep this wonderful hobby alive.
