GP Horn

Hi All,
Just found this. No sorry not for sale.

Pretty sure this is the correct horn for a GP.
Would like to clean up the bracket and bend it back to how it should be.
Does anyone have any measurement of an original they can send me.

Found this on the back.
Looks like "110" and "6V" under it.

Thoughts? Why is it black? Were they black on the GPs or painted OD?

This is originaly not a GP horn, the bracket is different and is black. GP horn is OD green.

What does the bracket look like?
I thought it does a 90 deg bend for about an inch at the bottom?
Pics?

The GP13802 horn drawing can be found here:
viewtopic.php?t=292498

The GP13829 horn bracket and almost every part in the GP can be ordered from Ford:
https://www.thehenryford.org/collection ... -drawings/

The horn with motorcycle type bracket can be converted to a GP horn by replacing the bracket.

Here is a drawing of the GP13829 horn bracket. This drawing is not an exact copy of the Ford drawing but close enough. For a proper drawing, order from Ford.
