can't seem to fit this new horn

Post by xpress »

hi there. i have a moern plastic horn because my old one stopped working.

now the thing is, i can't see how to fit it.

there's two long metal bits with holes on the end. and two little screws with little washers.

have they put two bits of everything i need to fit it instead of one bit by mistake?

the thing is, i take out the old screw that goes directly into the horn.

i fixed these plates to the horn with one of the screws and washers, but there's a big hole on the end of the plates.

now the thread doesn't fit through this, so what's up?

and there's no thread on the actual horn to screw directly into, a la the old horn?

please advise someone.

also i might even get an mot on her soon yet,

PS if anyone is reading and is local, and wants to show me round the grease points this weekend, give me a message.

regards and love.

plastic horn for the engine bay, i ended up just attaching it directly to the mount in the car with a suitable bolt. and racheted it snug.
