[Chrysler300] Horn repair and 300 G Rear lenses set??

["Rich Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx>]

Matt:

 I tried to get a 6-Volt trumpet horn on our C-300 going by flooding the
body with Deep Creep or Kroil to no avail.  I popped the hemi cap off to
access the "works" and did some chipping and scraping of rust until the
vibrating diaphragm was free at the center and around the edges and the
points were filed smooth.  Rust develops, flakes off and prevents the
diaphragm from vibrating.  I then fiddled with the tone adjusting screw with
proper voltage attached until the thing started to work, then adjusted the
tone screw for best volume and clarity and reassembled it.

It continues to work well and provides a very satisfying two-tone blast.

I hope this high-tech language tells the tale.  Good luck so you can be
doubly horny!

Re the taillight lenses, member George Laurie of Australia does reproduce
and sell them, but has suffered production and delivery problems as outlined

Best wishes to both of you.

Hello 300 Group,
 
It was great to meet some of you in Carlisle this past Friday. All the cars
looked great! I loved that 300 G wagon!
 
My 300 G tail lights have faded to a pumpkin orange and need help
desperately! Anybody have a pair sitting in your garage or basement that are
red and you would like to let go? I certainly would appreciate any
assistance.
 
I have also been trying to get my "HI" horn working. I have filled it with
WD 40, tapped on it but so far nothing. Any suggestions? I have power to it,
I even got the horn to beep a few times but I guess it was a short
awakening.
 
Thanking you in advance.
 
Warm Regards,
 
Matt Ostrowski
