This picture shows both horns viewed from the front of the engine compartment. You can see the mounting hardware to the left of the horns

Here's a closer look at the front of the horns showing the bottoms of the beam clamps and the mounting brackets. I used all of the brakets and hardware that came with the horns. I didn't show any of the opening of the inner fender liner, but most of you know there are a few bolts ahd push pins to remove for that step. The new horns look and sound great. Hope you all have enjoyed the procedure.

Red face Can this thread be moved or copied?

One more thing. Can this whole thread be moved or copied to the general forum? Under the category of Horn Mod. Thanks in advance.

So you are still on the 10 amp fuse, I imagine..

Location, would not be my first choice.. But works for you. Very Cool..

Any chance of rotating the "L" horn so the opening is @ 7:00 position.

They would blow equally both ways, look symmetrical & keep rain out..

Don't mind me, it's the OCD..

Thanks for the input sleeper. Yes I think the left horn could be rotated as you asked. There is enough wire to connect them that way. Might look better but as for rain, I don't think it wouldn't make that much difference. They both point downward so they should drain any water that might get in. I am still using the 10 amp fuse for this circuit.

Cool, I think that would look better IMO..

As to rain, you get to hi-way speed in heavy rain, with the front getting rammed with wind & rain, if any makes it above the 12:00 position of the L horn it will never drain out. Whereas the H horn will..

Just sayin...

You're right sleeper. I'm going to rotate the left side horn. I'll take another pic when I do. Also thanks 843 for your nod of approval.
