I don't remember for sure but think I installed them after the horns were in the brackets.

Did you install them: (#1) AFTER the horn tubes were in the openings in the metal bracket or, (#2) PUT THEM ON THE HORN TUBES FIRST , and then push the horn tubes into the openings in the metal bracket? I think the second method(#2) would tend to slice and ruin them. The first method (#1) might work with silicone and a plastic upholstery/ or windshield glass rubber installing tool? What say you???

They are tough to install. I did this job about 15 years ago and to the best of my memory, I think I had to cut the grommets and use lots of silicone spray lube to install them.

What is the best way to install the rubber grommets on the horn tubes where they go into the metal bracket ?? I tried Putting them on the tubes first, and than pushing them into the oval holes in the bracket, and they were too tight and would have split the rubber. Can they be installed after the horn is in that cutout in the metal bracket? Difficult to do that way, to say the least; but possible.
