Wolo/Stebel Install help

[Peteoz]

Hi boys and girls,
I am trying to install a Wolo on my F3 Limited and am really having trouble. Any advice from those who have installed one would be greatly appreciated. I have attached a couple of pics. I am sure I have attached the bracket to the correct body bolt, but.....

My issue is that I can not get the Wolo vertical in the bracket, but only at 45 degrees away from the bolt due to the very thick, immovable cabling running alongside it. I am not sure if there is perhaps more cabling on the Limited or not, meaning the cable is possibly thicker than standard.:dontknow:

I have made two offerings to the Nut god by dropping two nuts (that I cannot find) into the bodywork, but I have STILL had no luck.:gaah:

I have attached a couple of photos of the bracket itself and the Wolo in the bracket at the angle.

I have even threatened the Wolo with its immediate demise if it does not come to the party, but even that has not worked.:lecturef_smilie:

I am now using my bleeding hands to type this message, hoping that someone will call me an idiot and tell me what I have done wrong...
.. p.s. The photo angle is the same one Spyderpops uses to show the bracket mount position. Taken from just behind the left wheel.

Pete

Wolo

When Pops bracket won't work, which is rare, I recycle the stock bracket off the original horn. Buy a 1/4 20 x 1" bolt, 2 flat washers, and a nylon stop nut. Pop open frunk. About an inch to the left of the battery, there is a hole in the bracket that is about the level of the top of the battery. Pass the bolt with a flat washer thru that hole. From underneath, put the stock bracket on, followed by a flat washer and the stopnut. Before you do, make sure the Wolo supplied bolt fits thru the stock bracket. If not, drill to size. Now, hang the horn on that. Plug in, test. Replace battery cover. Enjoy! Call if you need to. Joe

Thanks Joe.....the fact that you mention replacing the battery cover when finished doesn't sound like an F3 Limited with the solid pop in basket that covers everything in the frunk, so that option may not be available to me.

If I'm not doing anything wrong with Pop's mounting (which is my major concern), then I will look at modifying Pop's bracket so I can still mount the horn on the left side roughly where Pop had it, as that seems to be an ideal, protected spot and I can leave my stock horn in place, just in case
