Replacement Horn!

[david.mt]

Any reasonable suggestions - front clam is coming off tomorrow so I can crack on with droping the floor off and replacing the radiator.

May as well do some other jobs at the same time such as the tunnel and brake ducting but will also change the puny horn for something more manly

Any suggestions - was just thinking about adding a couple of trumpet horns (one high and one low tone) and run them off the existing wiring.

No response required - just found the answer on eBay. A Nautilus compact air horn and should be a direct replacement - SORTED

I'm just about to go get the third one in as many years. They seem to ingress water easily and die during the winter salt/water onslaught. I might try the PIA ones this time see if they last any longer.

Is that a 3rd OEM horn or the suggested replacement ?

I will see what I can do when I fit it but fortunately it's just a Summer toy and stays tucked up in the garage over the Winter. I am not resealing the floor and then going out in the rain....that would just be daft

[TuxMan]

Put mine well hidden under the new drip tray !!! Hopefully that will keep it alive longer !!!

i have one also

mount it facing down so the rain drops out of it

Not quite ! I've has two and now need another but as you have described them so aptly I will get the PIAA version, then will move it from infront of the wheel, where it gets all the crap, to inside the rad cavity somewhere.

Do you need to run a separate power supply to the Nautalus relay, if so from where?

I don't believe so - it should be a direct replacement for the current horn as there is already a relay for the horn circuit in the current loom.

I moved mine inboard so as not to get all the crap from the wheel arch , hopefully it will last longer .
