I need a powerful horn .

Hi Willie,

I have one of these in the Troopy Stebel Nautilus It'd fairly rouse the dead.

Mine activates off the normal horn button but have a switch to isolate it around town.

Here we go. Second childhood approaching....lol


Just chill out and stop while the dustmaker moves ahead. Have a cuppa and let those stress levels settle down.

Though I don't know why you would have stress, being a gentlerman of leisure.

Cheers

Willie
Your mention of the single lane bitumen beef development road in Qld brings back a memory ,
As I arrived at the Middleton Hotel in the Road Train Car Carrrier I was driving back 1981, a local in a Toyota 6000 was just leaving, about 10klm down the road and heading for Boulia I caught up to him, so there I sat for anther 10klm flashing the headlights but realised he had no mirrors and the horn wasn't arousing his notice , I decided to wait another few Ks as he might turn into the the station a bit further down on the left , that didn't happen so I sneaked ever so close to the rear right corner of the tray and give it a bump with the bullbar....that got results because h shot of into the table drain and gave a wave as I slipped past

you need one of these

Try Whitworths, Willie. They've got some cool 12v marine horns.

The Dual air horns from Super Crap are good value for the price. I put a pair on my boat a couple of years back & they were more than adequate & surpriseingly lasted the distance.

Willie I have had heaps of the Super cheap ones on a variety of vehicles over the years! Never worn any out and they mount well and last ages.

Will never have just a a standard horn again and they have saved my life on one occasion. Poor truckie on the Hume just didint see my little truck beside him as I was passing on double lane(rain and heaps of mist from his tyres). Him hearing my desparate toot of the air horn saved him running me off into the huge culvert between the lanes.

Apart from the city driving when ignorant people decide to merge without looking...seriously the vehicle jumps back into their lane from fright!! Rather that than the drama of an accident and repairs even if you are in the right.

You will never go back!!

Godd to have the origonal horn still wired on a two position switch on dash for roadworthy reasons....air horn only used for off road work!...promise!

All the best

Matt.

got any friends that work for State Rail? Get an air horn off a train, add ti to your endless air and go...

To save space I could always poke my head out the window and use this

Willie .

Just wondering,
was it a Range Rover tootling along at 85km/hr that you were trying to pass???
-the one with no uhf radio
the one who thinks that it is his duty to slow down every other person on the road so they can admire/laugh at/abuse his RR

Nice big horn would hopefully make him change his ways :)!!!!!!!

Or did Wayne-O find him under the bullbar when he took the 4.2 for a run on the dyno?

Thanks everyone . I just ordered some " wake the dead " Stebel .
Cheers ,
Willie .

Could have possibly used a personal alarm. I remember giving the wife one when we lived in Sydney many years ago. Was like an aerosol can (mini) that when you depresss the button, this allmighty screech (real high pitch) was let off. I reckon that could be heard from a vehicle a fair way in front of yours???? It fit in my wifes purse so would not be much to pack in a door map pocket.

Cheers, Trevor.

Willie,

I just googled the STEBEL NAUTILUS Compact and it puts out 139dB. So I think that it would be loud enough LOL

I may have to get one and compare it with you at the Penrith show;))

Cheers Kev
