Horn installation
OK, this seems ridiculous but when I went to install my horn into the headlamp shell there is a 1/8" gap between the shell and the horn, even with the gasket in place. It seems the horn is too deep for the well. There doesn't seem to be another wrong way to install this thing, so I'm completely baffled!

The horn on a CL is designed to float in a hole larger than it is.
HONDA installed a formed not round "O" ring in the bottom of the headlight.
((((((((((((((((((It shows in the parts book along with the other rubber mounts.))))))))))))))).
The parts book doesn't actually show the parts only #17-61102-273-000 and #18-61303-273-000 but put those numbers on 2 other rubber parts in the pic................lm
