There should be two threaded plates welded to the passenger side inner fender to support and ground the horns. Most reproduction inner fenders don't have these plates, they need to be saved from your old inner fender.
If your inner fender has never been replaced and it doesn't have these plates, then your car is a 73-74 which used a different horn location.

I don't have any extras...You could make some out of a thick piece of steel, or simply put nuts on the backside :dunno:

Funny, the purple six pack car I'm restoring, they fell off when I removed the horns...Who ever replaced the inner apron didn't bother welding them in place :screwy:
