Success, and a great pic to boot Tom. :) Love the Mag horn, never seen one mounted there before...was this common?
Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

This forum is so much easier to use and load pics than the previous one. And the fact you can touch the pics to go full screen makes use so simple. Good job guys.

The horn is a retrofit, as the car came from the factory with a bulb horn. It would be up to the owner to decide where to put it. Outside the hood is a good location for it, because it's not much louder than a bulb horn.
The inevitable often happens.

From here, that looks like a motor driven Klaxon type horn. JMHO Dave

Steve, look at the size of the bell on that horn. If it is a Klaxon type horn, I bet it could be heard just fine! :o Dave

That's a great looking '14 with seat covers. Wisconsin 1915 according to licence plate.
Glad you made it on board.

I don't like this new forum at all! The old one was way easier to use, but then I'm old, and that's probably the problem!

I feel your pain Larry. I resist new things as long as possible. There was something familiar and comfortable the old forum had.
This forum was easy enough to get on and if it lasts longer, works better and makes it easier for those who maintain it it's a good thing.
In time it will seem as nice as the old one I am sure.

C'mon Larry , most of us are old.
One thing that I do like------- Just click on the photo of the 1914 touring ,---it will show up big so I can see it.
Otherwise, I do miss the old forum.
