1962 Horn Restoration diaphragm??

[Anthony P.]

I have searched the archives, as well as back issues of the Restorer on horn restoration and they have all been very helpful. The problem is that I have been unable to find any company that sells a horn restoration kit with a diaphragm.

So my question is, if I want to do this restoration myself, any ideas where I can find a diaphragm?


Thanks,

Tony

i remove the diaphragms from junkyard donors. in your case , check 1962 caddys/olds/pontiac/buick horns for donors.mike

Tony,

When I rebuilt my horns, I did exactly what Mike suggested. I hunted around for a pair of Delco donor horns. Several other horn models utilize the same diaphragm size.

My 62 horns were rebuilt by Ron Goralski on this forum from a pair of 63 Pontiac Catalina donors. Make sure your donor horns work per Ron.

FYI: I had Ron Goralski rebuild my horns based upon all of the feedback I found in this forum, and the quality of his work is fantastic!!!!!

I sent them to him about 3 weeks ago and just got them back today. I did not need to send any donors since he had diaphragms. They not only look great, but I still have a ringing in my ears from testing them out, since they are so loud.

Highly recommended!!!!
