Ford GP Horn?
Hi Folks
Restoring an early 42 willys at the moment and found this horn on it. Would it originally be from the GP?
Thanks

Re: Ford GP Horn?
Right horn, but looks like the wrong bracket. I bet it came off a motorcycle. Same thing I used on mine.

Danny is right, Correct horn, wrong bracket. Very possible to configure that bracket to work on GP. Best wishes; Leo

So Franzens looks to be original with a cut bracket. Nice find.

Re: Ford GP Horn?
Franzens horn is not original GP. It appears to be a “motorcycle” horn with bracket not same as GP. However, it can be converted to a GP horn by adding a GP bracket and rotating the cover.

Re: Ford GP Horn?
"Hi George, Aparently both have been used on GP's
The one pictured is a late GP and is probably the most original GP left on the planet.
The horn on that GP has screws."
Or the horn on 'the most original GP left on the planet' has been repaired at some time in its long life?
