I have dual horns about 20" long mounted to the passenger side of the engine. I have a typical flathead era starter solenoid as a horn relay. As we know, the solenoid is activated when the small terminal is grounded. I ran a wire off the small terminal up inside the pillar and made a spring loaded wooden rocker switch with a bare wire on the forward end. Pull the rope and the bare wire hits a spot on the windshield header where I sanded the paint off. HONNNNNNK!!!!
