Default Hella horn install

Hey guys,

Installed my set today on my late blobeye. I have a power steering pipe in the way which I managed to push as far back as I'd like and although installed and working, the horn is fouling this pipe and the grille, pretty much squeezed in very tight between the 2.

I'm just wondering how others have them squeezed in and is the fouling usual or is there a specific way to gain more space

Cheers

The bracket holding the pipe can be flipped over to hold it back (if i remember correctly)

My bugeye had the pipe with fins and i most definitely did something to the bracket to get the horn to fit. I either bent it or moved it to the back of where it bolts to , but i just can't remember exactly. It was a tight fit but made sure the pipe fins weren't rubbing the radiator and squeezed the horn in.

Cheers guys.

Mine has no fins, just a pipe. I've bent the bracket to allow the pipe to go as far back as possible but I'd love to know how I can go about reforming it as mentioned above. Do I need special gear to do this?

Due to the pipe and fins along with the engine oil cooler fitted I could not fit my hella horns behind the grill. So I put them where the fog/driving lights would normally be.
