Ford horn location?

Private_collector · #1 14-02-13, 04:15

Hello Robert, and welcome!

The horn is attached to the bracket that holds the front part of radiator overflow tank. Or at least that's where I have seen several attached. There is a small horn bracket which goes on horn itself, and this small piece is what is connected to the overflow tank front bracket.

I'm at work now, but will send you a photo later tonight....local time.

Well thank you very much to Bob, Brian and Tony.

I will need help to post pictures of my baby. Tried but it seems my files are too large.

Yes Bob i can glide in. Is there an airport nearby ? I will be on duty at NDHQ in late march. Could glide in sometime.

Thanks a lot for the responses . I feel most welcome.

Now i must figure out how to post pictures....

I just sent Robert a pm. I'm sure we can arrive for a car ride from the Ottawa airport to the Hammond airport. (I wouldn't trust the guy at the service desk who says, Where?!)

To answer Bob's question Saint-Georges is 100 KM south of Québec city near the american border with Maine. As a matter of fact , i live 20 km away from the USA. The nearest american town is called Jackman Maine. A nice little lumbermen town with a great airport where i go thru customs when i fly into the US.

Saint-Georges is the home of Company'' A'' Le Régiment de la Chaudière of Juno be Beach and Northwest Europe fame. I used to be the A Coy commander in my younger days.

When you want to drive from Toronto or Ottawa to Halifax , it is almost 250 KM shorter a drive if you go thry Saint-Georges and Maine instead of the Trans=Canada highway thru northern New-Brunswick !

Heads up for you travelers !

Cheers

Robert

Robert, here are several images I have found, showing the horn and/or where it is attached.

This is a shot of the overflow tank itself. Horn attaches to the front vertical strap.

This is my horn. I believe it is correct for a Ford Cab 13.

I thought I had a photo of the bracket itself, but can't find it yet.
Still, it doesn't matter because............I saved the best photo for last.

This should have all the detail you need. including how the bracket between horn & overflow tank looks. I got mine from ebay some months ago.

Hope this helps. Start your own resto thread, and you can post questions to your hearts content.

Any moderators able to help our new member to start a thread & possibly transfer the horn posts from here to there???
