Instead of buying a cheap aftermarket knockoff, I splurged and bought a vintage 1971 Citroen DS dual tone air horn.

Now I just need to figure out how to wire it up.

I would love to find some rodentproof insulation. Short of something like Dynamat, I feel as though those little buggers will chew any insulation material. I had to remove it from my NG car because they had destroyed it. Pretty frustrating to he honest. The stainless hardware would make things look nicer. Under the hood. I bought a bunch of replacement nuts and bolts when I replaced the engine in my NG car and they've held up well. They're just zinc plated and I know eventually they will rust and need replaced again.

I was wondering if they would chew carbon fiber.

I once watched one over the course of a few days completely destroy the decorative aluminum numbers on top of my neighbor's mailbox.

This is the only thing I could find.
A lot of it, and expensive.

Once I get into it, I might consider it.

That might be something where the leftover
can be resold.

It doesn't claim to be 'Rodent Proof', only that the material won't be shredded up for nesting material.

Thank you.
It's been a blast driving both of them.
Strong, healthy Rennys are so much fun.

I had so much fun driving the LY, I broke the clutch again.
I was told I needed a flywheel the last time, but I had just spent beaucoup on it to get it back on the road, and my truck was in the dealership for a month.

Not their fault, for once, lazy a** insurance rep. woman working from home DGAF.
I had to literally threaten to get her fired before she'd get off her a**


I kept the floor mats from the WB I had.
I was washing them with the '08 and noticed they were shaped differently.
