Yes, Thanks, Relay all hooked up. It took me about as long as Dennis to install rear discs but I had fun doing it. I think this winter, when doing bigger projects on the van in a warm snowed in garage I’ll consider raising it up behind the grill as some have done. In the meantime here is a little report on the relay. I used the J Brown single Horn relay. I made recordings but hard to tell any difference on those. In real life it made a nice difference. Tone is clearer, a bit louder, and consistent. I remembered I had a new horn purchased some 8 years ago and tried that as well. With the relay the new horn sounded better then my old one so I changed it out. Originally when I tried the new horn I didn’t like the tone, but now it sounds strong and normal. So, if you hear a clear Beep behind you, it just might be me. Eric Caron 85 GL Auto > On Apr 23, 2021, at 7:57 PM, Neil <musomuso@GMAIL.COM> wrote: > > "Orange or red" is ground.
