So I ordered the assembly from the local dealership as it was reasonable enough. However when asked about the mid year change from dual to single, the parts person turned a bit into a “dick”, other than him looking like Hagrid from Harry Potter I left it alone. He did tell me in movie the 67 Bullitt only had a single horn setup so I am confused or is he talking out of his ass?

I think I would classify that under "ass". The '67 Mustang also didnt have Magnaride, active exhaust, digital dash, rev matching....................

Yes, definitely “ass”. Also stupid, as there was no 1967 Bullitt.

I tried to replace mine myself. Getting the air box off was easy enough and even getting the horn disconnected and removed wasn't too bad. Putting the new horns in was impossible for me. My best friend has worked on small engines all his life and it took him all of 20 seconds to install the new horns for me.

If you're good with tiny fasteners in tight spaces (long fingers help) it shouldn't be a problem.

I had the same problem. No matter how I approached it and no matter how much I took off the engine to get at it, I couldn't get the horns back in. Gave up after 3 hours.

Did you try "hanging" the horns on the hook? I didn't even see that hook until they were installed.

I called in a favor at my dealer and had them installed on Monday. What a difference.

Yes, but that was actually the problem. When you try to hang the horn assembly on the hook, it jars the nut clip out of alignment. My hands are too large, as well, and I have carpal tunnel.
If I try it again, Im going to put a glob of putty in the slot for the nut, to hold it, bring the horn bracket close to the mounting area while holding the bolt in the bracket and start the bolt into the nut. Then, mount the horn bracket hook on the mounting area and finish bolting it on. Someone else mentioned that before.

What I will add: BEFORE you start this project, put a light colored microfiber towel on the engine pan below all this!
You'll thank me later....

So, I FINALLY got the dual horns in after a couple of more hours. For the $50 that a dealer charges, I recommend that anyone contemplating the change spend the $50.
The only problem, now, is that I should NEVER have taken the airbox out and I can't get the soundtube bracket back on the airbox housing.

Takes pics of how it looks now. I'm sure we can help you get back n place.

So the slot on the side of the airbox has a plastic "pin" sticking out that stops the flat flange on the sound tube.
I also included a photo of the airbox "snout" because someone said that it is easy to get this back on wrong and I may have done just that. Is that rubber supposed to be inside the grille tube or outside like this?
Thank You so much for your help!

The Air Box tube.

Took my EU Bullitt, build in may, to the Ford Dealer to have my horn replaced. They took away the airbox and we found two horns, made in USA by Fiam. Excatly what I ordered for replacement. Some guys here in Germany also got their Bullitts with two horns. I better had tried before.

Mine wasn't attached when I bought the car. Was flopping around and I didn't like that. I couldn't get it in for the life of me. Then I somehow managed to get it lined up square in the hole and gave it a shove downward and it just popped into place. I should have just removed the whole sound tube but the car was brand new and I wanted to keep it stock for now. Give it another go.
