I rewired my '49 and converted to 12v. Ran a hot from the ignition switch accessory terminal to the + on two new 12v horns by the radiator. Then from the - on the horns back to the wire coming up the steering column. Press on the horn button and blasto!  | | |

However, the new wire harness has a orange + and black - going to horn. The horn I have has one terminal + and the - is the stud bolted to bracket which is negative ground. I guess I'll give it a try. I'll let you know. Thanks! | | |
