Bill,
On my '61 Plus 4, the horn is on the right (passenger
side)chassis rail
just in front of the firewall. This is a wonderful location providing
liberal autolubrication and quaint acoustics. The sound is charmingly
appropriate and wholly inadequate for any message other than a polite
"Cheerio." Except for those moments of fear or anger, this subdued beep
is perfect for the much more common tonneau zipper slips and
"What-does-this-button-do?" Q & A sessions.
I'm thinking of mounting some supplemental airhorms with a
concealed
switch under the dash. But I'd probably get killed fumbling for it.
With a hearty "Cheerio, Silver!"
