Where can I find the connecting rubber that goes from the air box

That piece on the left in your picture is made of hard plastic.  Is that what you're looking for?

Yes, what's it called? Where can I buy one

I took mine off and put some screen over the opening, held in place with the metal clamp.

I apologize for my part in stomping all over your thread. Hopefully I can make it up to you in the future.

@siteunseen - No worries.

I was able to locate 1 horn.  I am in the process of cleaning it up as it was quite rusty.  Still not sure if it is H or L or what I have.  It will work itself out in the end.

Is that hard to find the original part that goes there?

Mines 1978 and the horn sucks


 

This usually means only one of them is working.  If only the hi or lo works, it will sound crappy or like a clown car.  Mine sounds like a standard horn, as you would expect.

Not sure about this.  I bench-tested my re-built horns independently, off the car, with direct pos and neg connections from a guaranteed 12VDC power supply.  They had to be correctly adjusted with the adjustment screw.  Move too far in either direction and 'bleat' became 'dink'... or silence.

Update:  I took my remaining horn off and found out that it is the L horn.  Also note that the front color is almost a hunter green, while the back appears to be cadmium plated?  So, the horn I purchased is the H horn, so I now have a matching set.   I am in the process of cleaning it up.  I've taken the horn apart, cleaned the face and back as well as removed the pitting from the bracket.  I have the front face and bracket primed.  I am now in the process of making a paper gasket.

 

One last question, my horn has a Date Code of Y8, the horn I purchased has a Date code of Y7.  I've tried to search and find a place that talks about the parts date codes for Datsun.  Can someone point me to it or enlighten me on how to decipher them?

Thanks!
