Actually called a "claxton" horn. Some vintage cars came out with them std. Used to have one years ago along with a "Wolf Whistle" that operated off the intake vacuum as well as musical trumpets. Have a look on Ebay.

Have been told(when I was pulled over by a cop about ten years ago) that musical air horns are illegal in Vic.

Just a nitpicking point the "harooga " horn is correctly called a Klaxon.

i thought a klaxon was the kind of alarm that you wind up. makes a siren noise. like the old ones on fire stations to let the townsfolk/firies know there's a fire.
i may be wrong

Rigor is right,
I still have my Original "claxton" horn setup in shed. Still got the huge push in and hold button too (the longer u hold it, the longer the "haroooga" would play. Bought it in 1975 and still works today. Best sound i ever heard. DONT ASK..its not for sale.

The red plastic klaxon they sell at supercheap/autobarn etc is crap.. had one and it died in 6 mths of offroading.

Been lookin for a real one for about 2 yrs :( most are 6Volt.

Why would you want the Dukes of Hazzard for god sake?

Also try Ebay, regularly get them on there...

Hi All,
I just bought a 2ft truck horn for the cruiser. Any ideas on where to get a small air tank (3 to 5 litres) and air fittings, electric solenoid etc in Nth East Melb area.

Where are the truck wreckers in Melb area, I've looked in Yell Pages etc and cannot find any. I'm sure that would be a place for an air tank.

The multi sound one with PA looks great... Imagine being able to tell some goose doing 70kph to get the hell out of the right hand lane of the Monash freeway... I encounter this most days on the way to work.
