Air Horns From Air Tank.

hee hee, I watched my mate lean over to the steering wheel to push the horn so I could here what it was like at the front of the car, I still jumped! :->>

It's rather high pitched as they are only small plastic trumpets that were never designed to have 105psi blasted through them but it's certainally effective.

I've got 2 trumpets hooked up to the air tank and the other three still running off the 12v pump that comes with those cheap air horn kits, that way if I run out of air I still have horns and if I don't want the SUPER loud horns I can simply switch the air compressor isolator so the tank want charge at the start of the day. However, the only time I want my horns, I WANT MY BLEEPING HORNS. So I don't mind having them hooked up all the time.
I used them on some of the indiginous kids who thought that it was just the done thing to have their two ferrel dogs run around in front of all the traffic on a main road, the dogs scattered into the bushes and the kids looked like they needed to go home and change their underpants! ROTFLMAO!

Jeff thanks for the image, Im still cracking up after your post!!!

But just as a side thought, have you connected the horns up through the main horn button on the steering wheel? I still believe air horns are technicaly illegal, so its good to have the origional there for the gents in blue, but a flick switch can be fitted easily.

That way you can have normal horn off the button, flip the switch and have the air horns off the same button!!

But hey...once you have had air horns, its hard to ever be without them, certainly gets the desired effect when 'instruction' is necessary!

Matt.

The Surf's factory horns have swalloed a little too much water over the years and were pretty much inoperative. That's why I origionally went the cheapie air horns. So no switch. Yeah I've heard mixed reports about their legality.
I always thought they were illegal too, but my mate who's been over the pits with his cars more times than I've opened cold beers reckons that in WA air horns themselves aren't illegal, but "musical" air horns are illegal to have hooked up to your horn.

Maybe someone in the know could straighten that one out for me, I'd be interested to know the facts on that one. Not that it's going to change what I've done! LOL.

Michael, if I can find a place for them under the surf's bonnet, anyone should be able to get them in there! LOL
I've got some much crap cramped under there it's not funny. Not to mention the EFI diesel's mess of hoses, wires and misc crap to start with! :-)

Fantastic Andrew, thanks mate.

Hooo haa hoo haa, excellent.........

Excellent!! I looked everywhere and could only find 24v versions of that. That's why I bit the bullet and bought the bloody rip off prices ARB solinoid.

Do you know how much they are? Sounds excellent!

no idea on price but they are a very heavy duty piece of kit, and around 5 db louder than the plastic versions, so nearly 4 times as loud . can't put a price on that !!!!!!!

Just quote that part number to your local repcos / bursons etc. they should be able to give you a price fairly easily..

They might even be on the hella website to look at, cheers mate
