Hooking up a magneto horn

Post by britishedx » Tue Feb 14, 2023 5:42 pm

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.

The electric horn is a far better instrument if it works. Going to a magneto horn is a backward step, even if it does work.
