Hi Steve,
Yes the horn is different there is an H cast into the Flair at the front of the horn.Also the 1 I had ,had a single screw holding the back cover on where the low note has a clip on cover.The high note horns are hard to come by.Maybe place an ad in the parts wanted section.

Cheers,
Graham

Steve,

The H Graham mentioned is sometimes hard to spot, other ways to identify it is that it has less coils and is a mirror opposite of the low note or standard horn. My Hi note horn has no screw holding the cover on, it is the same setup as the low note.

The high note horn wiring is the easiest way to identify as it has 2 wires coming from a slot in the domed cap.  The wires have typical FC terminals which go onto the low note horn contacts.  The wires are both black and clip up into the top of the radiator support panel with 2 clips supplied in the kit.
The dome on the back should be knock on like the low note and the horn be a mirror image of the low note.  Also the mounting bracket is a mirror image of the low note.  Lots of high note horns are seen at swap meets, the way to know you have the right one is by the wiring and the nirror image bracket.
