6V Delco Remy Horn - need help

[DEEBS47Chief1991]

I used a sheet of paper gasket material from NAPA. The rubber that insulates the electrical posts are insulators to keep the posts from shorting out on the metal shell. I traced the outer circle and then used an Exacto razor knife to cut out the inside and bolt holes. I used the top gray gasket sheet in this assortment of gasket material.

BTW, I did not make the post insulators but that could be fabricated with a grommet or other plastic tube. However, be mindful of heat, petroleum, and vibration when fabricating motorcycle parts. It's a rough environment. I would try chainsaw fuel line for an example.

When you get to the point that you have buzzing and tone, you adjust the tone to sound like the Jeep from an episode from MASH. MEEP-MEEP.

That made me laugh! I overhauled mine not long ago and that's exactly how it sounds! I was thinking the 'Road Runner' but the jeep from MASH is better.

"the post insulators but that could be fabricated with a grommet or other plastic tube. However, be mindful of heat, petroleum, and vibration when fabricating motorcycle parts".

My insulators fell apart on disassembly, so I used some PEEK and machined some new ones. Probably overkill, but I had it already and it worked just fine...

Thanks again for all the help. Got it to make noise. Now have to dial it in
