I did a similiar fix to the two installs I've done. I also re-used the stock v-bracket. In my case I drilled the center v-bracket hole larger and mounted it sandwiched between the frame and the radiator cradle using the front cradle bolt. I had to bend the v-bracket slightly upward to make clearance for the rear horn (to clear the brake duct) but it works as Elmer described.

It is the stock OEM horn bracket. I just attached the horns to the OEM bracket and then I attached the OEM bracket to the rear hole of the E-Force bracket. In other words, don't attach the horns directly to the E-Force bracket, use the OEM bracket to mount the horns. Look at the picture. It shows the horns attached to the OEM bracket, with the OEM bracket attached to the E-Force bracket.

Yep....this is someone else's photo though. In the two I've done I sandwiched that bracket higher up using the front radiator cradle bolt. Tucks the horns up completely out of the way.
