I have trumpet horns and brackets for 1932 car. Not sure how they attach to the light bar (I think that's where they go). Any one have experience installing these, or a picture showing how they are mounted? Thanks.

Thanks Dave. I may be missing some hardware, I see bolts extending up into the headlight brace. What attaches them to the inside of the brace?

Attached is a picture of the mounting bracket. I have searched my extra parts and only have one. Dave

If you have the bracket you could use a piece of rough stock that will fit in the horn brace slot and drill and tap for the screws. Dave

Thanks Dave. The brackets I have do not have the rounded base. I will have to make or modify, but now I know how they mount. Thanks again- much appreciated.
