I have to second what John is saying, not only is Eurotech's horn smaller and have low quality chrome on it, but I bought one for $39.95 plus $5.00 in...
Here's my take on the situation after repairing and calibrating my speedo and tach twice now. Of course your situation may differ, but I suggest that there is...
