Default Re: Horn relay?

I agree, the relay is only a bandaid for a problem. Mine blows great with the old wiring but it was a bit slow for a long time. Earlier this summer I loosened the adjustment screw one click and now it's perfect. I tried that two years ago, but the perfect adjustment then seemed to be just half way between two clicks. A light sanding of the commutator with fine sandpaper or emory cloth is often a big help.

Some of the repro horn rods don't give the best connection to ground at the horn button. I know this because when I press the horn button for a few seconds I can feel the button heat up.
