Car Horn Restoration - 1930's Delco-Remy K-31 Klaxon Type Horn

[@stevemaas99]

I picked up the exact same horn, and was grateful to find your video to explain the inner workings! Well done!

[@Michagan_outdoorsman_James]

dude im so doing this i got a old delco remmy myself that i got in a bunch of swap meet parts. you are a great craftsman, much admiration of your skills. keeps me motivated to keep learning and do better

[@TheJayhawker]

Thanks a lot, I appreciate the kind words. Have fun!

In life I've discovered that often there's never time to do something right, but yet there's time and money to do it over. In was a pleasure to watch a CRAFTMAN!

[@jaysaw8151]

Mine seems a lot more complicated .. thought for sure your video was going to help

[@kenswitzer4133]

Thanks much. Glad to see flux used to solder. Most of us don't have the equipment you have it you give us some good ideas.👍😁👌✌️🤙🏻🤟🏻

[@JuanGomez-bl2lb]

Thank you!!!! Now I can get mine to get it to work.!!! 😃👍👍👍

[@tutubopeter]

Awesome restoration job. You definitely have all the tools and the skills. I would have preferred the wooden base all natural without the white coat. My preference. Cheers.

Quality video. Deserves more views.

[@kevinbender9390]

Nice video. I have the dual horn you tossed out last. You should fix that one up. I can't get mine to toot.

[@SlickD217]

I have the same exact horn on my resto mod enduro motorcycle. Ran fine at 12v but I mounted a step down to a t just to keep from frying the windings eventually

[@OGSHAKER2020]

Love that intro awesome 👌 👏 ol skool babeee

I have found a non electrical 0-00gqh (it operates by plunger) which I want to overhaul due to the loose plunger affecting operation but boy is it super loud. Any ideas how these NON ELECTRICAL ones operate would be great.

[@williambasinger5859]

The cleaner wood cut would be achieved with a hammer and chisel or even a router. But hey a mill machine does cut it.

[@48ihkb5]

Same exact one came standard on my 1948 IH KB5

[@jaysaw8151]

Just bought something similar iv got a headache of a mess trying to figure it out

[@jims3204]

Where do you get the cloth-wrapped wire??

[@TheJayhawker]

YNZ's yesterdays parts

[@jims3204]

Awesome! Thank you for the quick reply. I'll check them out!@@TheJayhawker

[@Rottingboards]

What did you use to acid etch before the blueing?

[@TheJayhawker]

Super Blue doesn't require acid etching. Just clean the parts well with alcohol, rinse with water, blue and let sit, then rinse with water again. I've also clear coated it with clear spray paint. But to be perfectly clear, this is a home do-it-yourselfer type product not a professional product.

[@Rottingboards]

@@TheJayhawker what was bubbling in the container? I thought that was acid etching.

[@TheJayhawker]

@@Rottingboards I'm sorry!, I had to go back and watch it to see what I did! Yes, if you have modern zinc plated hardware and you want to make it look original toss it into a 10:1 solution of water and muriatic acid. It will strip the zinc right off.

[@ExcelsiorElectric]

Can you tell me where you got your converter from?

[@TheJayhawker]

It was most likely from ebay. You can find a lot of 120v AC to 6v DC converters but not ones that have enough amps. I've forgotten what amps this one is but I can take a look at it sometime and let you know. I do remember at the time it was the only one I could find. It's like it was an old-school laptop charge cord or something but I'm not positive.

[@ExcelsiorElectric]

@@TheJayhawker I appreciate it. I have a bunch of these horns I'd like to test out. It's hard to tell what amps these horns need, the information plates never mention it.

[@TheJayhawker]

@@ExcelsiorElectric It is 5 amps.

[@paulreft7133]

While doing research on why my antique Sparton trumpet horn quit working I stumbled upon this video...WHOA! Just when I thought what a talented guy you are, you humbled me AGAIN! Amazing work my friend! Thank you for sharing.... although I think the horn would look better under the hood of my 49 Chevy truck 😂 Be well friend and God Bless!

[@owengreene7659]

Not a klaxon horn

[@TheJayhawker]

Nope, sure isn't. That's why I put "Klaxon type" Thanks for watching.
