Title: Horn Restoration
Post by: pontrumlee on December 06, 2018, 01:59:41 PM

Does anyone know of a company that I can contact about repairing/rebuilding/restoring my set of horns that came off my car? I'd like to keep the date code correct ones to the car instead of buying repo. I searched through the forum, but didn't find any posts on this topic. One is bent up pretty bad and will need some work to reshape (if that is even possible). Any suggestions much appreciated. Thanks

I second that. Had a set done by them as well, very nicely done and very conscientious about quality.

3X, if you goggle Camaro horn restoration he comes up immediately and he's mentioned on just about every car website. They restored our horns! Highly recommended by the NCRS guys as well.

Gary is the overwhelming choice for horns. Just got two back from him. He gets it.

Velly intellesting - I assume this is Gary. You'd pay about this price to buy reproductions, I think (then, they wouldn't be dated correctly, would they ?).

Worst thing is multiple sets - most of my 50 year old horns have the Sound of Silence, which is not music to my wallet.

Flat out Quality Costs.  Given most of our experiences with reproductions,,,,,,well  take those ugly Import power brake boosters, best to restore what GM built in most cases. Definitely easier for the guys with fewer than 3 cars in their rosters,,,,,,,,,I also have another set for  one of the rides that needs to get serviced.

My price included shipping in my instance.

I just had my master cylinder done by white post, not cheap. But hey I have been fortunate in finding items on a tight budget, So what the hell. I think I may have found the elusive (early)1100837 alternator I have been looking for, it looks terrible, but spins. So I'm just going to run it as is, if it maintains the battery I am golden.

If you have horns that are ok but do not work, I have had some luck by spraying WD40 or similar inside and set them where it soaks overnight and bump wire them to a battery. Repeating this sometimes frees them up.
