On the same subject, has anyone made their own horn bush? When I purchased
my car two years ago, whenever the car made a left turn, the bush would
short out somehow and honk as I went. I always enjoyed that as I went
through busy intersections. Needless to say, shortly thereafter, the bush
was removed and horns disconnected. I figured the horn was weak enough
anyways that I didn't really need it and didn't want to pay the 25$ for a
new one.... Jerry's post got me to thinking, though... maybe I could just
make my own. Anyone ever tried this? Alternately, would anyone be willing
to take theirs apart and describe it to me?
Thanks much,
