The spring can be shelved. Not needed. For where the hose goes through guides, I've bought some fuel line with an inner diameter near that of the new brake line's outer diameter. Nothing fancy. A foot of auto parts store bulk line worked fine. Cut to size, split it, slip it over the barke line where needed and secure with small black plastic wire ties or contact cement. Done! =) eddie

way to transfer the protective rubber covers, grommets and spring over to the new stainless line. I can split the rubber mounting grommets, and maybe the other rubber stuff, but that spring doesn't look like it will pass over the end fittings. What do you guys do? Dave

Without installing a relay, I believe you won't get much improvement, if any. Probably the OEM horn WITH a relay, would be adequate. Cheers, Ed

Dave, I cut a piece of water hose (2" long?), then cut it down the side lengthwise so it'd fit over the brake-line, and used a nylon tie to attach it to the stock location (hoop). Cheers, Ed
