Anyone make a Horn Relacation Bracket?

I have seen the Pic of the Factory Bracket that is NLA to relocate the Horns to that you can mount a fan on the radiator. Is anyone making something that I can use or as Usual Do I need to make one and then get a Machinist make a few and then sell them here so that I can have mine for free?

Is this what I need or can use??

Using some 1/8" aluminum flat bar, a bench vise and a ball peen hammer, you can make just about any bracket imaginable. It ain't difficult.

I have always made everything I need. After 68 years of doing this I was hoping not to this time! See my edit of above. Is this the Bracket I need?

I just used my existing brackets and reversed them to point toward the front of the car, instead of toward the rear. I had one C shaped bracket for the left horn and another bent piece of metal for the right one. See what you have there, already.

I dunno... I don't have a stock 911 or a stock horn.

Very Nice Mounted to the Sway Bar or Protective Bar around the Condenser.

I will seriously look at doing just that! I will be in Columbus at the end of September early October for a Reunion! I went to High Street High school AKA "OSU"

The 911 horns have a single mounting bolt at the back of the horn that bolts through a hole. 2 horns, so you need 2 holes to bolt them to. My fender bracket had two holes, with two extending metal pieces bolted to it. On the end of each of those, was the horn bolted. I simply reversed the direction of the extending metal pieces, and mounted the horns back on them. I actually did get new horns, too, from Autozone. Cheapy high / low tones for $21.

OSU area has changed a lot, even since I graduated, 14 years ago.
