If your OEM horn looks like the one in (A), horn will need to be rotated. Remove bolt, loosen the central nut and rotate it 90° so the shield is pointing opposite the mounting bracket. If your OEM horn looks like the one in (B), simply remove the bolt.

Shown below is the water pump after being reoriented, the following slides will outline the process.
The first step is to group the aluminum bracket with the “F” (Front) block as shown below. Use the supplied M6x40 screws and 2 large washers to keep the assembly in place but do not fasten yet.
The next step is to position the pump mounting bracket behind the “F” block. Do not fasten yet.
Lastly, slide the “B” (Back) block onto the assembly and fasten using a large M6 washer and M6 lock nut on each screw. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
IT IS CRITICAL THAT THE PUMP NOT TOUCH THE CRASH BAR. The aluminum bracket holes are slightly oversized to allow for small adjustment; use as needed.
