i find fitting the horn cover and gaskets very annoying , also what makes it more annoying is i have a legshield mounted spare wheel,(the spare wheel carrier will be indian i think) which makes it difficult to line up the top mounts and the alloy threads on the 30 odd year old horn cover :(
has anyone fitted studs with loctite to the horn cover and tightened it up with nylock nut on the spare wheel carrier side?
or is there a reason i should not do this....
appreciate your help/thoughts
thanks in advance :)

I always tape the thin gaskets to the side of the horncast on the inside - just a little to hold them in place whilst being round the other side tightening up - saved many a sweary moment ;)
