Some of them have been known to be a little hard to get out of your mind, once seen, even for an instant...... OWWW that one with the snow angel still HURTS>.......... THANK YOU all so much....... The pictures are awesome and they help out so much.

Fit the top two small bolts under the wheel lock first (after you've drilled new holes to mount the horn), then work down to the other attachment points. Since I had mine on and off a few time during the initial installation, I remember have a harder time when I started at the bottom and worked up....so again, start from the top down and once you have a bolt in every hole....make it up. It needs some persuasion, but once lined up correctly, fits like a glove.

- May 20, 2013, 18:34:56 PMLucinda,the thread Ratman provided is the way KW and I also put our bar on.It was a hot topic and amuzing during the off season.....LOL.....It's very simple you just have to drill two new holes to mount the horn.Don't forget to use some type of glue,epoxy etc to put on the two plastic plugs provided with the bar.Don't forget to post pics.

ok the floor boards top bolts have to be removed, and the brackets go on the outside and the bolts are replaced, do not tighten anything yet just get the bolts started and everything in place, the bracket were the horn was should fit flush to it. I can repost some of the pictures for you....pm me if you have any more questions I'll check my hotmail later........

- May 20, 2013, 10:46:33 AMHi there everyone,
This is my first time posting and I am greatful for the wealth of information on this board. I recently received my engine guard for my 800 drifter. I ordered them off of ebay from "Guido" that many of you mention. I have searched on here and cannot find the answer to my question. My husband and his friend attempted to put them on and are having some issues. As recommended from the board we bought longer screws to put where the horn was located. The problem is the guard is not flush against the radiator? It will not fit under the wheel lock so it is sticking out about 1 1/2" and all I see looking at it from the side is are the long screws! Should the wheel lock be removed to fit the guard flush against the radiator? If so how do you remove it? Or is there something they are just doing wrong that they are missing? Any info would be greatly appreciated...
