WTB: Electric Horn

Post by Jacob Mangold » Sun Mar 08, 2026 5:30 pm

Hello forum. I’m on the lookout for an electric horn for my TT. Preferably a Klaxxon or such. Show me what you got.

Thanks in advance, Jacob Mangold

Are we to assume you are looking for a Battery horn and not a Magneto horn?
Which bracket are you looking for?
'26-'27 or '19-'25?
6 volt? 12 volt?
Do you want aftermarket or the correct stock horn?

Typically a Klaxon is a hand operated horn but they did make electric ones also.

He stated "electric" - not magneto ? Klaxon is a name brand - did you mean to state "ahooga" ?

Ahooga would be correct. 6 volt, battery operated. My TT is a 26 so a later style horn is preferable but I am not picky. I also prefer a stock horn but am open to suggestions for nice reproductions or similar.

Thank you, Jacob Mangold

T did not use ahooga horn. T horn sounds more like a goose.26/27 has special brackets.

The '26-'27 T battery horn is not the best. On a TT, having both the standard horn and an accessory would be nice. On a TT, you'd have plenty of options on where to mount an accessory horn, such as one for a Model A.

Let me simplify this. I am looking for a horn that goes "ahooga" but is not made of plastic like the ones you can get at harbor freight. I would like an antique one but I am not picky, as long as it is good quality/all metal. If you have a horn like that and are willing to part with it, I'll gladly purchase it (If the price is right of course). As far as bracketry goes, I'm not too worried about it as I have a couple brackets sitting around.

Thanks Again, Jacob Mangold
