Lightbulb Re: Horn repairs

Another alternative is to locate nice used originals, or even NOS. Problem with NOS horns is that even with the proper part number, GM supplied a correct horn body, but the mounting brackets supplied in the box were somewhat universal, and were attached by a large single nut onto a spot welded threaded boss. These horns can be used if you carefully drill the spot welds holding the bracket to the old horn, then drill the spot welds holding the threaded boss on the NOS horn, and finally weld the old bracket to the NOS horn. I just did this for my 1970 Blazer. I could not find any good used high note horns, but an NOS high note appeared.

Part numbers for your reference:

High note 9000011

Low note 9000235
