For all you blokes with stebel air horns...

Postby Jimmy » Sat Jun 28, 2008 1:29 pm

Get a man's horn!

I got cut off for the last time last week. It then promted me to rummage around under the house in search of this baby (truck horn). It was a no-drill, no-cut, leaving the car completely standard installation. The air tank is good for 135psi. Let me tell you you don't want to be in front of the car when it goes off because your bowels will rupture 8)

1mm clearance from the fan surround. Like a Glove!

The tank (fingers crossed no one runs into the back of me)

And to fill the tank

And the on/off switch - simply pull the metal thingo upwards to unleash hell.

I read that air horns are tuned to emit a certain sound. So a tug boat does not sound like a car and a truck does not either. Imagine coming up to the lights and hearing the Princess of Tasmanian behind you- now that would be impressive :lol: :lol:
