Looking for a clean, working Prestolite HI horn for my 71 Barracuda.

I have already diassembled and cleaned my original using Mike Ross' how to.
It was a no-go on getting it to work.

@Skdmark If you've got a non-working one, I had great experience with The Horn Shop in Wisconsin.  See thread: https://forum.e-bodies.org/electrical-and-audio/11/horn-not-working/23664/

This one has some pics of my returned horns, replacement rivets look very close. https://forum.e-bodies.org/parts-wanted/25/wanted-horns-for-e-body/27561/msg310253#msg310253

Thanks @benguin

Before disassembling the horn, when the HI horn was plugged in neither horn woud work and the relay would not click.
Unplugged the HI horn and everything else worked. After bench testing the HI horn failed, I split it open and gave it a spray with electrical contact cleaner, scrubbed the contacts, made a new paper gasket etc. Still a no go.

I'll give The Horn Works a shout. I'm about an hour away from Beloit.

I emailed Gary at The Horn Shop last night.
Got an email back this morning saying he no longer restores the Prestolite horns we have.  :-[

Back to needing a working HI Prestolite horn.

Thanks for the link.
Unfortunately, those are different than the 71 Prestolite.
