I know we talked about this, Jim.
And none of your Type3's have functioning horns, but you feel having a
functioning horn is not important ... at least, not to you.

IIRC, you believe "tracking down" WHY the horn doesn't work, is a waste of
time.

The problem MAY be down near the bottom of the steering column; near the
steering box?
To get to that, removal of the (near empty) fuel tank, hoses, sender wire,
hold-down clips allows one to remove the tank to access to the area where
the problem "MAY" be?

In your opinion:  Too much work for too little return?
Anything I missed here?
