Instructions are worthless, so doing a search before diving in is recommended.

I used some 1" x 1/8" Al strap and bent it in a shallow Z to mount the horns in the outer corners of the grill, using the radiator mount bolts. There's very little clearance between horn/grill and horn/radiator, but they do fit nicely if the brackets are bent correctly. I'll try to post some pictures... |
