Eric,

If you have changed your vehicle to 12 volt your horn will still work fine (it won't burn out or anything like that)

Just get a couple of wires to a 12 volt battery and touch the terminals to test it. You can now use the little adjusting screw to "tune" the instrument. 12 volt will make the diaphram move faster and slightly further. Tiny adjustments to the screw will arrive at the correct gap and perfect note - just touch wire- adjust, touch wire - adjust until it is in full cry.

You can go back the other way like this with a 12 volt horn to 6 volt system.

Here are two photos of the horn on Llyods' Ford Quad here in Gympie Australia. This vehicle is very original so this will be the one you need.

Cheers

Default horn

I took apart many 11 and 12 cab fords, and they all had that long horn.
That is the horn used on early fords (Canadian) Maybe other forum members can confirm that.
The short one was used on 13 cab fords, ford lynx 1&2, GM FOX, and maybe more.

The long one Eric, you need a "long horn" Sparton, Ford Canada
(CMP)part no. 81C-13833, (old design cab). Part number of the
later "short projector" horn is C29Q-13833 (new design cab).

Default Image of long horn

For an image of a long horn generally similar to the one illustrated above see e-bay item 350022576974. I can't tell you whether your idea of "working" and "good value" match the seller's.
