[T3] The no horn blues

The left bumper bracket has a tab to mount the horn at least on my 73 it 
does but not on the right .

 Rather than running an extra wire to the right why not just mount both on 
the same bolt on the left side I think you can move the stock horn just 
enough so they don't touch each other or the bumper I recall doing it once 
and installing a relay . I mounted the relay under the left area where the 
hood release is . You do need to run a hot wire out to the relay on # 30 # 
85 to horn wire which grounds the relay  and 86 to 12 volt can be tied to # 
30 and 87 to the horns . Some relays have 5 tabs 87b . I would fuse # 30 
just in case . You might find it easier to mount the relay under the dash . 
I'm sure you will figure it out. Or just get a new horn , mine seems pretty 
loud and has lasted a very long time.
