Peter, Since you agree with Kerry that the forces are pushing the horn down, could you draw a simple Free Body Diagram to show it? Anyone?
If its pushing down when mounted on top, then its also pulling down thru the bold head when mounted on bottom. The forces should be similar.
I can see a twisting moment imparted by the original push rod but I think the distance from the top to the bottom of the horn is negligible compared to the forces.
