horn installation ..
I have an issue with my horn installation..
Should be simple right??
The blind nut on the inside of the closed cross section is missing.
So I have nothing to screw into.. this is on the passenger side.
The driver's side went in fine.
What should I do??

If the nut is there and stripped, consider a helicoil.
If the internal nut is broken loose / missing there's not much you can do to get it back to "proper" without removing that header....
If proper isn't a total concern, opening the hole up a little and installing a nutsert is likely the easiest choice and it keeps the fastener the correct one.
Going to a self taping bolt the next size up and letting it thread the header.
