New horn

[Silvery Thing]

in the patrol we use a truck air horn which uses a compresser really loud (can feel the car vibrate when pressed)

needs a bit of messing to fit but its great when finished

Thats the way I'm going, got a tank, then the right sort of valve to find and it'll be LOUD. Twin truck/boat horn, tried it on 3 bar's of Nitrogen and was pretty loud, 4 bar and even with ear defenders it was too loud to sound for more than a second or two....Normal air horn compressors just won't make enough pressure so I'm looking for a high pressure one, but for the moment CO2 cylinders (out of date extingushers) may have to surfice ;-)

in th patrol we have a small gas bottle under the bonnet with about 120 psi in . . . its a suprise it got frew th mot if u look at it

a butane bottle next to th exhaust :)

60-70 cm chrome truck horn n a 2 tone train horn under the car  8)

Please tell me you are taking the <edit> about the butane bottle under the bonnet :?

Mate of mine back in calgary works for Canadian Pacific... Well you know where this is going... :)

Need to sort out a gas supply but nothing gives that pant wetting feeling of impending doom like a US train horn.

Rabbit had full 2-tones and Bullhorn
then all but one of the twotone modes dies and then about a month ago I hit the switch and it went Click ERRRRrrrrrRRREEEEEEeeeeee.......weweweweeeeeeee CLICk

Hasnt worked since. Even after I got all the bud out

I'd really love that Kong thing - particularly for the biker who overtook me in Betws-y-Coed the other day while I was holding back for somebody coming the other way - but by the time you've added the cost of a compressor and on-board tank, it'd be a bit pricey  :(

I have just ordered two horns from here.http://www.classic-car-accessories.co.uk/acatalog/Classic_car_parts_HORNS_4.html
the Marco" wind tone horns with red domes.
and the best one is this Klaxon 12v period horn with red trumpet .
Cant wait to fit them.

Just went to check out the horn and I can't actually find it!  I'm sure if I dismantle the plastic coverings it'll be there somewhere but any quick pointers?  :oops:  In AndyC's it was very obvious, by the ABS block, but mine sounds like it's coming from the rad area somewhere.  Just not sure which side.  Disco TD5 Manual.  Thank you
