Check the vendor links here on the board for replacement harnesses.
The horn is hot all the time. Power feeds from the big terminal on the starter to the 'hot' side of the ammeter. A smaller wire then feeds from the hot terminal directly to the horn. The other wire on the horn goes to the button on the steering column that goes to ground when pushed.

You might want to check previous postings on this topic in this forum. There are things to consider regarding accessories and "authenticity".

It was complete and the instructions were great. It didn't take long to do and I never had a problem. Cost was about $100.00. Best of luck.
