We have one horn but the other is dead. We cannot tell the HZ of the existing horn, so we would like to buy a matching pair.

Thanks!

I have a small bucket of tested horns. Half were dead. I have heard they can be repaired but I have not tried it.
The HZ is usually heat stamped into the plastic base. 300 and 335 hz is I remember correctly. Not sure it makes a big deal. I think some late cars only had one horn.
The earliest horns has screw on front covers.

Thanks Bruce, I am not sure if the horn is stock because it is all metal, but manufactured by Hella.

I’ll add a picture tomorrow

Look on Ebay. All the Hella stuff is made in India. Since they are under the front pan, marking will be out of sign. No German horns in years.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I as well have a fair sized box of horns. 3 types Ive found on the cars over the years. The combination of the differing Hz horns make up the LOUD noise desired. On the back is a nut that is usually covered in potting material that is used to "tune" the horn to a specific frequency Either 335 or 400. So if you can only find the same (working) HZ horn as you have, you can adjust it.

Rich, the horns on the car appear after market and one is inoperable. Can I buy a working set from you? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I am getting use to visiting your house (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Those are 70-74 style horns. The 75-76 style mount under the front pan have "horn" that faces forward like these. Not saying the older style won't work, but if you are going for original look then those are not correct.

only 75-76. Because of the big bumpers and the way they are mounted to the 75-76 cars there is no room for the horns. The older style horns will direct the sound downward hence the difference in the 75-76 style facing the sound forward.

Again not saying the older style work, a horn is a horn.

My '75 did not have directional horns like that and by all accounts everything was stock on my car before I got it in '84. the one on mine look like the round ones in the first pic posted.

I have owned 10 Porsches (circa '75 & '76) and
have NEVER seen the "point forward" HORNS on
any of them.

As a matter of fact, I have never seen a "point
forward" HORN in my life, period.

Just saying !!!

Fair enough, but every and I mean every 75 /76 I have parted (18 of them) had the exact same style horn as I posted. Maybe they were all replaced at one time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
but all were mounted under the car, not behind the bumper.
