I purchased a short bracket horn at Carlisle last year but it is threaded so I don't see how it would mount so I assume its 72 up. Is 71 a one year only short bracket horn? Pics of whats correct? Thanks

Would appear your horn is mounted backwards on the bracket, should be facing forward (as Eric’s picture shows). The rivets having been replaced by screws and nuts indicate someone has had it apart. 1972 Road Runner GTX 440 6bbl 5-speed [img]http://72rrgtx.com/carpics/bucket/DSC06730r-1.jpg[/img]

All the reproduction companies show different horns for 70 and 71 which doesn't surprise me. They usually don't know what their product fits. 72 Satellite Sebring Plus 440, 72 Dart 5.9 4-spd, 68 Valiant, 73 W200, 78 D100 sb, 78 D200, 98 DAKOTA, .

Mine has the long bracket as well and I agree with 72roadrunnergtx that someone had this thing apart. If my memory is correct, a short bracket wont fit both the bolt hole and the tab (where it attaches to inner fender) at the same time.

I understand it has been apart and one of the main reasons I asked the question. I bought the short bracket one due to most of the ones I see advertised its listed for 71 and up but obviously is not as moparmarks said. Lots of good info I will look for a nice used original at Carlisle this year.
