I didn't do anything to the horns in my '34 roadster when I converted to 12 volts/negative ground over 20 years ago. The only problem is that they are really loud. I seldom use them but when I do I just tap the horn button for an instant.

did you try to use a voltage reducer 12 v to 6 volt ? to see if that works ? might be the easier way to go. hope this helps, 37 Ragtopman

Does anyone know if I can replace the 6V Sparton horn motors in my '34 horns with later model 12V motors? For example, will the guts from a '62 Ford Fairlane (or some other 12V car) be adapted into a '34 horn so that they still look like '34 horns? That would be a slick way to switch to newer 12V negative ground horns. What do they use for the motors in the reproduction 12V '34 horns that Mac's and C.W. Moss sell?
