Horn bracket on ebay

Post by jiminbartow » Tue Nov 30, 2021 10:29 pm

I am listing a horn bracket on eBay. It has an old round label attached to it with a string that has Klaxon written on it. I believe it is for a Model T because I took it out to the garage and was able to line it up with the two rear drivers side head bolts and the two front drivers side head bolts. The larger holes measure 3 7/8” from center to center and I believe it is meant to mount to the top of the head. Has anyone ever seen a horn bracket like this? If so, is it for a particular year?

As you know, Ford never supplied a Klaxon horn on Model T's; Not until Model A's. It could be for an aftermarket Klaxon horn on a T after 1928, or could it be for a T mag horn. I've never had a T with a mag horn, so I'm not that familiar with them.

Thank you, Terry. I was going to mention that, but didn’t want to influence any comments I received. It is possible that the label is wrong and the person that put it on was not sure what he had. Like you say it could be for an early Mag horn or for a goose horn,but it does fit several head holes on top of the engine. Jim Patrick
