Has anyone ever successfully fitted a 6 volt horn to a 12 volt system before, I recently purchased a 6 volt 1937 Ford trumpet horn and dog its load you can hear it a mile away.What should I ask for to connect this baby up.

Update 18.06.08 - An old timer told me to wire in a 12 volt bulb just before the horn to lessen the current to the horn.

I thought you could get a relay 12 volt input to 6 volt output

I'm also now told a 12 volt to 6 volt resistor will do the job, I'll check it out tomorrow at the auto electrics.

Just put a 6 volt globe etc in line with the horn to make up the 12 volt circuit
