I need of set of GOOD working, Stock, Hi/Low horns which will bolt up to a 56 Hawk, in the original position. These horns do not have a mounting bracket...the mounting bolts attach to the horn housing itself...

Try searching Ebay for Sparton horns and aftermarket brand names (i.e. NAPA Balkamp). I had been searching earlier this year for a hi-tone horn for my GT hawk and was getting nowhere until I noticed a NOS NAPA Balkamp horn that was made by Sparton and had the same lugs as my old horn. The model number was slightly different from my original horn. I took a chance at $50 on this horn and you can't tell the difference in appearance or sound. I doubt that any of the aftermarket parts suppliers made their own replacement horns so many of their horns were probably made by Sparton.Randy Ridenour

It was 4-3686 and was NOS. There's one on Ebay now for $35 including shipping. The pictures included in the listing show a partial bracket on it that I don't remember being on mine and I believe the number stamped on it might be different than the one I bought. At $35, I would take a chance on it. The bracket can easily be removed and the lugs are present for the GT Hawk bracket.Randy Ridenour

Here's one for $20. It says Sparton on the body.

The ones with brackets on them are likely Lark type.Frank van Doorn

I fashioned a bracket and connector adapter to allow mounting a Lark hi tone to the GT mount without changing anything on the car. Unfortunately, these horns are riveted together, otherwise you could easily reclock them to fit. The Lark horns are mounted higher in a more protected area, so they survive much better, they don't get the brunt of rain, slush and salt like the Hawk horns do. I have searched for years for a Hawk hi tone horn, I have found unicorns but have never seen a working Hawk horn....
