Rachel You should be getting my donation. I did it thru my IRA and was able to make a Tax free donation to the MTFCA and museum.

The horn on my 14 is bell down. It is reasonable to mount the bell down to allow water that might collect in the horn while driving in rain to be able to drain rather than collect in the twist.
