Agree. Putting the horn relay in the battery box compartment was a big no-no, given the fuel tank was there. Porsche explicitly put out a service bulletin warning against doing this back in 1954.

I had Fiamm air horns on one car, they sure weren’t mounted like that. I immediately discarded them, although I still have the blue relay.

Thanks Guys..Learning every day...Later Get the batter in and see how they sound.
Interesting to see original battery installation area. Has thin flat tar under battery with 2 strips over it and on the sides two thicker tar papers.
