Re: [DMCForum] Horn on center pad



> Bob Zilla has something for this...

Well phooey!  I heard rumor about him doing it before, so I asked him and
didn't get a definite answer.

My worst experience so far was I was driving an SUV trailering two boats
(PWC's).  Some lady cut in front of me, and I had to brake hard to avoid
being hit.  All the while I was slapping my cruise control!  I learned
real
quick that the misplaced DeLorean switch was teaching me bad habits.  It
reminded me of a police training course I was in years ago.  While under
stress, you behave as you have practiced.  The example the instructor gave
was of an officer who died in a shoot out with his hand in his pocket full
of empty brass shells.  In order to keep the gun range floor clean, he
always put the spent shells in his pocket.  But that last time if he just
dumped the shells on the floor and speed-loaded his revolver, he may not
have been found dead on the floor with his hand in his pocket.  Well,
maybe
I'm off on a tangent, but my point is clear.  The placement of the
DeLorean
horn switch makes for a dangerous habit.

Before I heard of Bob Zilla's project, I was (and still am unless Bob
makes
his available) considering ways to at least temporarily hang a coiled cord
from the wheel's center pad.  It would look like crap, but would be much
safer to drive.  I don't like the idea of using a battery and RF to
activate
the horn, but if that's what it takes then I'm ready for it.  So far the
idea I like best is drilling a small hole down the center of the steering
shaft to run a wire pair.  Further down the column the hole would make a
turn and stick out the side where it would attach to some brass rings &
brushes.

Hey Bob, you want me to test your prototype?  You know I'm good a finding
fault with everything.  :-)
