How To: Relocate factory alarm horn when front stut bar is installed

I took off my alram horn that was mounted on the strut because i added a front strut tower bar. I just remembered that i should have put it back. Instead of making a new harness, i came to a simple conclusion. For those of yuo with front strut bars, you know what i'm talking about.

First, disassemble the horn assemply:

You should stick one of those washers with spikey tabs (I for get the name off hand) so that you can prevent the arm from falling while not having to overtighten the bold.

The only issue is that the only horns will then be the front ones, which are easily destroyable from outside the car. Of course, its even easier to just pop the hood without even getting inside the cab But I've prevented that :-D
