IF IT AINT BROKE, KEEP FIXING IT UNTIL IT IS

Finally!
A break in the weather when actually I'm off-shift - so today I fitted a Stebel Nautilus horn that I've been trying to get on the car for ages.
Instead of the somewhat embarrassing "peep" sound of the original, this thing is quite capable of blowing offending motorists out of the way!

I thought it sounded pretty good from inside the car.
Then my Jimny owning neighbour popped round to see it when she heard it from inside her house.
I asked her to try it so I could hear it from outside the car...
Holy Cr@p it's loud! :laugh:
EDIT:
I'm also thinking of fitting a Durite Klaxon Durite 0-642-01 for a bit of fun.
Unlike the cheap Chinese versions this brand is pretty reliable - they do the vintage “Arrroooughaaa” sound

I like the look of that horn, where did you buy it from out of interest?
Today was spent fighting with J999MNY's front suspension
I thought one of the front springs was snapped (like the rears did around christmas). Took them both out and OMG! they are in bits
Suffice to say I wouldn't recommend Zanfi springs to anyone after this:
So having spotted this issue last week, I decided to order some nice new +4" springs and the castor corrected HD arms with rubber bushes fitted for them from the ever helpful James Priestly. Rubber bushes were JP's suggestion for a more comfy ride (was on super-pro and good but harder).
On with the fronts and out for a test drive, all is so much better. The vague steering is much better. Tracking (toe in) was miles out so have set it roughly, and need to get a garage to fine tune it next weekend (and get the balance beads into the tyres). Overall a good, if expensive, result. Rear is to do next saturday unless i get time in the week.
