Hooking up a magneto horn

Post by TheSaintDiscJockey » Tue Jan 15, 2019 10:45 am

I have an electric horn on my 1920 T now, but have just purchased a magneto horn.
How would I hook it up?

Many thanks, T-bees!

Also, a pic as to where to locate it on the firewall would be great!

Currently have an electric horn mounted on the engine head, so at a bit of a loss!

The bracket is not mounted horizontal, the horn cover has to clear the firewall.
