I think you are correct. My bongo is "as stripped" as the silver one above at the moment, :cry: but i couldn't bare to take a pic of her like that,so don't have a pic to refer to.

Sorry to off topic, nothing scary max, i decided (at last) to address the slightly scabby front slam panel,so it's stripped for new paint. :wink:

Big Daddy, what's the larger 'horn-like' item just below the actual horn on the driver's side in that pic?

You can access the horn from under the bumper - don't need to remove the headlamp - just a 10mm head setscrew and 1 wire.
