Thumb tacks for air horns

[Supermario]

funny story...

I purchased a cab from Tamiya Cowboy almost 2 years ago. it came with marker lights, air cleaners , horns etc. I had plans for the body but no plans for the other parts so I bagged them up and they've been in storage until I put them on the dump truck recently.
Well, when I was installing the horns something looked different about them I noticed they had covers on them and thought must be plastic cover of some sort As I tried to pop one off is when I realized they are thumb tacks! They fit and look perfect. What a great idea Paul!
Another part of the hobby I love. it makes you look at everyday things in a whole new way, seeing if it will work for something on the rigs

So for those who don't know, simple metal thumb tacks for air horn covers.

My fiancé is always annoyed with me looking at anything and trying to figure out if it will work on a project. Have to be innovative to stay on a budget.

My mother always found my "innovation" kind of enlightening. She thought it was really inspiring how I could see something useful for my trucks and their world in an ordinary daily item. Sometimes she'd look for things to help me in my builds and at times find things that I may have overlooked. She's passed on now, but I still look for items to use and think of her often.
