Richard, ZIP makes a relatively easy-to-use horn rebuild kit. My neighbor and I both bought kits for my 66 and his 73. One of our local salvage yards has a nice selection of late 60's and early 70's GM cars that are good donors for horn parts. I paid $4 for two fully funtional and working horns in very nice cosmetic condition. If you go this route, as a suggestion, when you crimp the new rivets, you will need to use a small bench vise. This gives the rivet head the "cross hatch" pattern that is seen on original rivets. This was an easy task. Just make sure that you watch closely as you disassemble the old horn. A couple of small gaskets and bushings can get lost.

Re: Mid-Year Horn
I have 2 friends, both NCRS members here in Baltimore who rebuild horns. EMail me and I'll put you in touch. Agree with Clup that you have to disassemble the horn to replace the lug....then you have to re-rivet it back together with the correct rivets, with the correct tension, etc. It's like "tuning" a snare drum. It's harder to do than it looks. Chuck1963 Corvette Conv. 327/360 NCRS Top Flight
