un-noisy horn

[Bruce Knipe]

Peter; I ll buy you a beer if you will tell me the secret of having a loud horn. My home model 1949 MG-TC horn makes a low sound that can be heard for least 6 to 7 feet with the engine off. Want to trade? Seriously, can someone tell me (us) how to test and adjust the volume of a Lucas HF 1234 horn; or is the horn just worn out?

Bruce, Do what we did on my Triumph motorcycle - install Fiat horns. Not original, but they're sure loud!
