Nice one!

Electrical jokes are always good!

Of course if you're not joking, the battery -ve terminal, chassis earth, a few other good places including the engine block.

In case you're ever trying to decipher an American diagram, they have Ground instead of Earth but it's the same thing.

Finally figured it out, did a quick test and they seem to work now. Couldn't do much of a test as the car was going bonkers at me as fuses are removed as the injectors are off the car for cleaning.

And they look good too! Hopefully a better pic in the morning - this was taken in pitch darkness!

Best of all you haven't been Photobucketed yet!

Looking good anyway, hope they sound as good as they look?

I keep threatening to fit my air horns to mine, or as i like to call them, "Sc-air horns"!

Not sure where to fit them yet as before i take up valuable space with extra horns, i need to find somewhere safe to mount an LPG reducer and ECU.

My horns were also fubar, I just moved the new units to behind the bumper under the headlight, drilled a new hole and bolted them in. The old connectors were knackered too, even the copper wire inside the plastic was a bit black, new horns had spade terminals and not well sealed but will see how it goes.
