RE: Louder horn,cheap and easy upgrade

["Retherford, Martin" <MRetherford@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Any body know what the resistance of the horn is?  You will need to match
this if you move to a relay for a new horn.  If the new horn has the same
resistance or more don't worry about a relay as you will add life to the
horn switch.  If the nerw horn has two time the resistance of the old hor
you can run them in parrallel and not worry about the switch.

It's not so much the wiring that's the problem as the switch contacts.
With the higher current being switched, they will deteriorate rapidly.
And let's face it, if the T3 switches are anything to go by, they're a
bit dodgy in the first place.
