The bolt in picture 2 & 3, yes?

I will need to get a washer but that location would be most convenient to the horn location.

Since it looks like I possibly won't be using the OEM positive wire from the old horn, I'm guessing that I will need to cap it off and run a new positive wire.

Would I run it directly from the positive terminal of the battery (via in-line 30AMP fuse) or ???

 

I planned on having approx 3-4" of wire bridging "the source" & the in-line fuse, just as you described. In fact, I already have the ring terminal crimped & attached via 12g to the in-line fuse. I haven't cut the length of wire for the other side of the in-line fuse because I'm not sure how much (or little) I will need.

 

Pics are so helpful...thanks!

I need to find the socket for that particular nut. It is a 13mm, yes? My 13mm has "gone on vacation" without my permission, so I wasn't able to use that spot for the testing I did on Monday during lunch.

 

That one was missing, too!

It's time to buy a new socket set & a PADLOCK for my toolbox.

 

I think we need to meet! :devil:
