Hi Jack,

Since the horn is intermittent in nature, I really wouldn't worry about
the amperage it draws.

Personally, I think Charlie made a good call with his Hella horns he has
on his new beauty. They draw a little over 5 amps and have both high and
low tones. I'm thinking about getting a pair myself and mounting them
somehow in the original location...perhaps pointing sideways, but I need
to do some checking on clearances, first.

I also think that the Harbor Freight one will work just fine for you.
Plus, it's quite a bit cheaper.

Harbor
Freight has Fiamm horns but they are said to draw 5 amps each. There
is a guy
on E-bay selling universal mount 12v horns that are said to draw only
1.5
amps and put out 105 dB.

I plan to add a horn relay, but the 1.5 amp horns are appealing.

Does anyone have input into this?
