Subject:Re: horn

Thanks for this!

Now that would be great.  I’m going to have to see if the horn I have in storage has a cap and adjustment. 

If not maybe I can find a usable original from the local yard or a VW friend to adjust. 

The one on my bus sounds good and will sound better once I get that relay. 

I’m looking forward to this project.
 Getting improved horn sound is a perfect task for a blind VW Bus nut.

I have a talking instrument tuner so I might be able to get them very closely matched.  Or, I could go for harmony.

On most of the VW Hella and Blaupunkt horns, there is a cap in the middle and you can turn the small screw under the cap.  Pop the cap off, turn the screw in or out and beep the horn.  Turn and beep till you find the Pitch you prefer.
