A GOOD horn??

I don't think you could go past "Aooogah" Always puts a smile on my dial when I hear that. Or if its camel shyte you are after, could ya put one of those big semi type horns under ya bonet?

Try your local ship chandler, some of the yacht horns are a hoot.

Always had VW horns.

They are sealed, and have a circular plate on the outside that makes the sound.
Have had mine since 73, keep transfering from car to car.
Makes a good sound.
Works under water too.

Have seen similar ones around.

Have to be careful using it in the city, witht he 2 standard horns and the third VW one, it makes pedestrians jump.

Looks like this:

That's a good question as I have the same problem. Thought of some air horns but not a lot of room to mount these in a 75 series.

I await an answer to your question...

Why not make a BIG statement?
Get one of those bl**dy great big air horns that are fitted to roadtrains, mount it on the side of your rack and scare the shyte out of everything in hearing range.
It's guaranteed to clear the road in front of you.
Better still fit one on each side of the rack

Yes i agree the horn in the troopy just doesn't serve the truck any justice, also what horns are legal i had a mate with a truck horn in his torana, boys in blue disconnected it saying it was illegal

When I had my 75 series troopy I got rid of the pathetic electric horn & replaced it with Air Horns. As someone said, not a lot of room in the engine bay but I made a bracket and installed it near the front left hand side, high up. I have a pic. of it if you'd like it. A decent horn for a big truck!.Sparky

Signman,

The standard troopy horn sounds like it came off a motor scooter. I tried airhorns and they were shagged after afew dunkings in the mud.

Went to the wrecker and found an 90's model LTD falcon. They have two hella horns that sound as good as airhorns if not better and they are still going 4 years or so on. All Fords have nice loud horns, about the only part I like on them ;-) Either that or BMW, they have great sounding honkers also. Shouldn't cost you more than $20.

Cheers

PS, some train horns would be the ultimate if you can be assed seting up tanks/pressure switches etc.

Never tried it but Ive heard Viagra is really good for a horn.

Must have been blowing it too often.

Sorry Ill stop there!!

Go down to the wreckers and try some out from the old holdens. I used an EJ Holden horn for years and it had a nice loud note without going over the top.

I had for a while the penultimate warning device; A tram gong... Clang clang clang...for something to give people the irates it was fantastic, caused absolute chaos in Melbourne and Adelaide but got some weird looks in Brisbane & Sydney. Weirdly a gentlemen in Uniform suggested that if I quietly removed it he would take no action....
Now I have the Ultimate warning device, hop along to tricky dicky and purchase his "steam Whistle" kit. The one I got is brilliant, totally controlable and adjustable so you can have the configuration that one finds on ships that has a lot of hissing as steam escapes before the full diapaison (that'll have ya googleing) blast, or the ever popular railway locomotive style, as soon as you "pull the cord" a clear resonating blast can be heard for miles. I have mine running through an amp and then played via a speaker mounted behind the bumper. The reaction from motorists at railway Xings is simply worth all the tea in the Daintree, irrespective if there are 2' dia trees growing between the tracks...
As to scaring Camels, if these are centralian camels who remember the original Ghan then they would scatter, usually to a point directly in front of you though.
If you can find a "manned" railway station it works very well around those too...Oh and it razzes up the staff at Maccas drive thrus as well.

Hi Signy,

I agree, the horn in my Troopy is in the words of my 14yo daughter "lame"

Try, Horn

Signman..........
I have an 95 model 80 series and for a big car the horn sounds like a little hatch back. Last year I bought my wife a Mazda 6 which has a great sounding horn, similar to ones on BMW's and Mercs (very loud and deep sounding).
All I can say is her Mazda 6 sounds like a Landcruiser and my landcruiser sounds like a Mazda 6.........

Mind you, $32000 is alot for a horn...
