I had the front end off the blob today doing a de-tango and i was going to fit the above horns. The problem is on the drivers side behind the grill is a cooler pipe for the power steering.

I would really like to try and get a horn either side of the subaru badge but this pipe is right in the road.

How did the guys that have these fitted get round this problem

Cheers Paul

 

I have the same issue... So I'm gonna use your thread and hopefully someone can come up with a solution

 

just bend the bracket slightly and it will fit behind the horn.

 

And where did u fix the cooler to?

 

i just bent the fixing bracket slightly so it fitted behind the horn

 

Euhm, it looks like the cooler has a serious dent as well.. It's a decent solution I must say but I was hoping on some other options

 

wheres the dent?

 

I can't see one either.
Tommy: get y'self some stainless bolts and start replacing.

e-bay is your friend, they even do the ones with integral skirts, and I've found stainless screws in all shapes and sizes for those too.

Most of my low torque fasteners are now stainless, dipped in Copper Ease before fitting

 

there isnt a dent, im not stupid when it comes to fitting parts the horn fits inside the middle of the cooler perfectly all that is required is a slight bend in the bracket.

any idea on the sizes of the bolts as i was thinking of replacing a few, these are the worst as they are hidden behind the grill.

the solutions are
A: as above like i did.
B: move the cooler elsewhere.
C: move the horn elsewhere.

 

That's how mine are fitted aswell.

 

sorry for hijacking this thread im after some of these were can i get some

 

They can't be bought in the UK mate, but I have seen them on the USA eBay. Ohh and they aren't cheap.

 

Hella? Schmella!

Get yourself some airhorns, they are much better......

Sorry, on second look, it was the shade who made me see a dent in the cooler

 

Cheers guys, i will have another go at fitting them at the weekend although i have now painted them black so they wont be seen.

 

Most bolts on that pic are M8 x16 or M8 x20.

Here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nk....c0.m270.l1313

Lots on there at different prices, some sold singly (expensive) some in packs of 5, some in packs of ten.

I inputted "stainless bolt, M8, flanged"
