Horns

[TATO]

Hi everybody,
Any body familiar with the aftermarket horns, and best store to find them in the US, because the OEM are not available anymore .
Thanks

None of the available horns look exactly like the OEM, and they don't sound like them either.  Then again, I don't know if an OEM 40-50 year old horn sounds the same as it did way back when anyway.

Do a search here, TATO, there were several threads where these were discussed and you can see some photos and links.  Some nice looking, albeit not original, horn sets available.

I just saw on e-bay two pairs of horns that look like originals. The most expensive are the Bosch horns, the others look alike, but are not Bosch and are much cheaper. There is also one more that are announced as original, but do not look like the ones installed in pagodas, at least in mine. And these ones are the cheapest

All of the three offers can be seen at the following webpage

The ebay site above that Flyair made reference to, are in fact "new original equipment" horns now again being made by Bosch.  I got my horns from Europe a couple of years ago when Bosch first came out with them.  I needed to replace my old horns and did not want to buy rebuilt ones.  These horns are only a little different sounding then old originals, because with todays highways, a horn of 560 years ago does not make the sound impact as the new higher pitched horns.  One thing that is different with the NOE horns is the chrome grill.  I kind of like it.  It brightens up the undercarriage.  Even got points for them at Concours.  They are the same in size and weight.
