Air Horns

[IPAddis]

Another puddle, another drowned horn.

As I need to replace at least one of them anyway, does anyone know any decent makes of air horns? Not the cheap plastic rubbish that plays Dixey but legal single note horns a la Dancing Donkey or Lamborghini. Preferrably, a slightly lower note to match the deeper exhaust note.

PS. It's not a Max Power thing, I live in Bournemouth and it's getting on for lost & brainless tourist / SAGA holiday time.

Try TRUCKSTUFF.CO.UK , they have a good range of horns, proberly better with and all electic horn the full on jobs are a bit OTT. and you have to mount a seperate compresser, unless your car has air breaks!!

Be jesus have worked in Bournemouth and you need more than a lot of noise to avoid an accident,try some bull bars if you want to keep your Tiv.(Did you know the movie film Death Race 2000 was shot there!!!)

I've had a look at Truckstuff but I think the tones might be slightly too low. I don't want to sound like a diesel train!

Is there a Brembo or Momo of air horns?

When the mechanical horn on the V8S gave up the ghost I got a cheap air horn to replace it. Not spectacularly loud, but better than the faint 'ahem, excuse me?' from the original ones. ABout £20 from my local motorfactors IRC.

Bought a double trumpet air horn for my Land Rover at an auto jumble - it's made by Masserati, if that helps.
Longer trumpets give lower notes, in case you didn't know.
Saw ones which were around 3 foot long, in an antique shop once, must have been off a train or something!! Window breaking stuff. You could probably reverse with those!

Although mine was a Ferrari horn that I acidently left on the jeep when I sold it so Dad bought me some more from Halfords.
