Dale, it is important that you decide, or put the wiring in for 6 volt.
It needs to be a heavier cross sectional area for 6 volt than for 12 volt.

Picked up a nice 1935 horn the other week they are getting hard to find , and it works . I'm on two weeks holidays should have the conduit finished and air scoop fitted . I'm having a wiring harness made up next week then the drivers compartment can be finished off .. I gave the outside upper hull it's final coat of paint to blend it all together yesterday . This Time I up graded to Protec's 342 spraying enamel 30% flat khaki green No 3 much , much , better then the equipment enamel very easy to spray . It looks flat in the flesh but has an egg shell feel to it . Dale
