Its all good. I don't want to get into the spec debates that seem to always happen with Chief. Nice job on the car.

At the point the car was at, I was getting to where the metal was getting so stretched out, that it would have been worse to keep pulling it.

In all reality, I should have replaced the entire LT horn (including upper apron assy), but I sadly don't have the money for that right now - $6-700 part.
