Well, it would not be a deal breaker. I want them to be an original part and look the same. I guess something from an impala or something would be fine. Not sure which cars had the identical looking horns. I know brackets may differ. Thanks!

Still looking. The numbers don’t have to end in 351 , 352 like they should, but some horns just don’t quite have the big cone shaped end of the horn like them. I’m looking for a set that looks the part. Not sure what years of other GM cars had them but I know some did. My first preference would be from a vette even if not the same year assuming they look the part.

It’s my understanding that the 325 and 326 horns are on some 57 Chevy passenger cars. I’m not sure about that but they look the same and would do. So I’m still looking for those or the 351 , 352s! Just want them to be working fine

Yes, the 325 and 326 horns are for 1957 Chevy passenger cars. They are the same as the 351 and 352 horns including the style of mounting bracket except for (1) the stamped number is different of course AND (2) the mounting bracket on the 325/326 is indexed 180* from the 351/352 mounting bracket. So the 325/326 horns will not mount in the same position as the 351/352.
Back when I put my '60 together, I needed a working horn as one of my originals was not working. I did have a 325 or 326 and looked at re-indexing the bracket, but my recollection is that it was not a easy fix. Yes, it can be done, but it is not just a matter of turning the bracket 180*.
I just wanted you to be aware of the difference in the mounting bracket between these two sets of horns.

I find out so much on this forum it’s unbelievable. And the mistakes we’ve made along the way. This info on horns wiill help. I’m shocked it’s been this long to find a set of the horns after postinf on the forum. I find it better to get some things from here than from a lot of eBay sellers because they don’t always seem to be very knowledgeable and may be misleading in their description.
