Relocation
 
Just installed a custom bumper onto my xj and this left the vacuum ball and horns exposed and in need of relocation. Any ideas on where to relocate them? Thanks.

you could move them inside the engine compartment, or make shields for them and leave them where they are

this is what I did...

I just pushed the horn up/forward by bending the tab the horn sits on to where its amost touching the bottom of "frame" and its out of the way enough for me. no rewiring and moving. you can kinda see it in thsi pic right next to my fog light. (if you make it touch the body/bracket it won't sound right)

as for the vacume ball I just pulled the plastic line up threw the fender and wrapped it back to the A/C reciver dryer? IIRC... and zip tied it to it. so its out of the way and didn't have to modify the line. Let me se if i can find a pic.... (here it is)

I unbolted my horns. Flipped to the other side and angled them in and bolted them to the same hole

glad i never had to worry about that stuff, the ball and the passenger horn were busted from an accident when i got mine, just put a cork in the vacuum line and called a day
