Horn recommendations
I have no horn installed so I need to find a replacement.
A good universal quality sharp looking piece is fine with me. Doesnt need to be vette specific.
I tried searching but wasnt sure what type I needed as I saw High/Low notes, A, F, C notes, etc.
All I have right now is the button and pieces behind it but nothing else. I would need to wire it up and unsure how to do that as well, would I need a relay?
Thanks

I bought an A and a C and a relay at O'Reillys. The horns were 10 bucks apiece and you could select A, B, or C individually. The relay was around 5 bucks. Mine was already wired but the parts had been removed from the steering wheel. I bought the contact repair kit from Volvette and replaced the relay and horns. All is well. The O'Reilly's horns mount with the same connections and bolts as the originals I took out.

i picked up some Fiamm El Grande's and mounted them
in the stock location and used the stock wiring..
are you sure your wiring is gone?
midway down this page you can see the mountinghttp://hometown.aol.com/coronet69/page15.html
they work perfect and no extra wiring involved

I never thought to try O'Reillys or Pep Boys. That's good info!!! Both of mine are dead. I verified the voltage and ground at the horns, so I need to replace both horns. I was waiting to spend the $120 . . . always seems to be something else I need. At $20, I'll be installing next week.
I had someone almost hit me the other day. Since the horns don't work, all I could do was yell. I guess my exhaust was too loud for him to here me

Another O'Reilly horn user checking in. I think mine are the "Highway Blasters". Supposed to be louder than stock. I don't give a hoot. I needed horns to pass inspection and the price was much nicer for two than for just one from a resto company.

Funny, I stopped off at Oreillys today and picked up high and low tone ones. The I saw the replies so looks like a good choice. Ill post up how it turns out.
