Reproduction Horn from Texas T

Post by Model T Ron » Sat Feb 11, 2023 9:25 pm

I think I am going to need a horn on the 24 Coupe that I will be getting soon as all photos indicate that the horn is MIA. That said I came across a reproduction horn from Texas T that looks like it might do the trick. Has anyone purchased this re-pop? Is it any good? Appreciate your feedback as they are proud of it at $234.95.

It looks very similar to the original horn. I think you should be able to find one which will work at a swap meet. It will cost much less and usually with a little adjustment can be made to sound very good.

I believe Fun Projects was the repro manufacturer of the horns - no longer in business but his items were top notch reproductions !

I called Texas T parts last month trying to buy one of their battery horns. They didn’t have any in stock and were kind of odd about it. I called them in December to buy an Akurate oil gauge and they were out of that as well, and had the same odd attitude. Almost like I was bugging them asking about it.

I ended up buying a horn off of the wire.

I've not had a problem finding originals. Why bother with a repro?
