Well, Saturday, I finish installing the 2 horns on my MGA.
You probably remember that MGAs came with a High Lucas horn
and a Low horn was optional. I, with a background in acoustics,
wanted this MGA to honk with all of its glory. So I bought
the left hand bracket (a little rare since I guess most people
didn't get this option - $9.40) and installed the horn. With
great trepidation and bubbling excitement....I mashed the horn
button.( In Georgia you don't push buttons, you "mash" them)
It sounds like a damned-old-Buick !!?! I expected some sort of
"MWEEP". Instead I got a "Bronk" !!?? Maybe I can re-calibrate
my hearing. Maybe it just sounds like a D-O-B when I honk it
in the garage. Maybe I need more data. Maybe I'll grow into it.

p.s. There is no way to adjust the frequencies so if it
honks at all then it is an original sound. Hmmmmmm. I
gotta think about this.
