Question Dumb question...Where does the stock horn bracket bolt up?

So we swapped struts this weekend and this morning when I got to work I was BS'ing with a couple friends when I happed to look down @ the cowl and saw 2 nuts sitting there. They looked an awful lot like the nuts for the strut tops and I immediately thought no effin way cuz we triple checked all that. I popped the hood and all the tophat bolts were in place but i saw what appeared to be the horn bracket dangling. Now i don't remember taking it off, and I can't seem to figure out what it bolts to as the wire coming out of the firewall to the horn is rather short(and the turbo was still crispy hot). Here are pics. Any CONSTRUCTIVE help is appreciated!

hmm...on the 02 sedan the 2 mounts are:

Bracket infront of radiator

Drivers side firewall next to drivers side headlight so that the horn will reach out in front of the radiator

Looks like the firewall side strut bolts hold it down.

Notice how the bracket has bends to put it up higher above the first bolt that secures the strut assembly. Throw them on then throw another nut on each.

It's on a wagon so maybe it's different? I'll go mess with it @ lunch after everything is nice and cool. Maybe I'll just use it as an excuse to get a pair of Supertones out of the wife

note how much longer the studs are on that passenger side top hat and the doubled up nuts on the farthest stud. that should be enough of a hint.

Hold on, let me go look....

Okay, like Josh said, it mounts to the back two strut bolts. You've got two nuts on the outside bolt (the second one holds the bracket in place, but you're missing one on the inside bolt. Find it and mount the bracket on.

Problem solved.

Arg, sorry Mark. Yes the horn goes to the firewall side two bolts from the strut. My bad man, hope nothing is damaged. Got in a hurry.

I put the dbl nuts on there so I wouldn't lose them No harm no foul...the horn still works, though I might not tell the wife that!
