What do you think of my horn placement?

Looks nice and neat but wouldn't the nostrils block the sound? How about inside the front clip intake at the radiator corners?

Hi Ray-
I thought about that location, but they will interfere with the AC condenser (I think). I'll look again.

Thanks

those horns are so loud that the fiberglass is not much of a deterant - - - and it looks nice an clean there

 

[Bill D]

Dave-
I really like your placement. How did you mount them to the flat wall behind them?

 

[dave harris]

Bill, made a "double s bend" like you would see a "cleat" on a boat. stud on horn thru top "finger" and same for bottom horn - - then two bolts thru center of "cleat" to hold to bulkhead. Needed to mount to rubber on the bulkhead as the horns vibrated the crap outa that panel otherwise!

 

[Bill D]

Can you remove the nut from the backside and attach a different mount?

 

[dave harris]

I used the same mount that's on the horn - - just bolted that to the "cleat" - - - Clear as mud yet? I'll see if I can get a picture of it --

I was amazed to learn that air horns were legal here in NSW/Oz (just not the musical ones). So I stuck three of them in & they scare the living cr*p out of people !

They were easy to mount on the f/lass lip in a DRB, but may be more of a challenge in other cars ?

Kind Regards,

Peter D.

Peter, I REALLY like the way you think. What did you do for a air supply?

 

[Peter Delaney]

Bill D - my apologies for wandering a bit off-track - that is a nice setup that you have done there, & decent electric horns are seriously loud, so I doubt you will have any trouble being heard !

Howard, the little blue gadget below the washer bottle is the compressor. The horn cct fires off a relay which feeds power to the compressor via 4mm cable, etc. The whole lot cost about A$55 a couple of years ago.

Kind Regards,

Peter D.

I revised the horn placement.

How's this? They are mounted to a 1x1 piece of steel. I can't make up my mind if I want them vertical like Dave's or horizontal.

Re: I revised the horn placement.

I'd say put them the heck out of the way. You'll have more important things to mess with in there than horns. If you have side panels on the front area I'd put them on the outside of that, soirt of like where Peter has them, so you can open the nostril panel to check fluids etc. and not deal with running into them.

Thanks Ron.

Panterra1889 (Ron McCall) suggested putting them in the pocket behind the lights. A perfect location on the RCR car.

German horns on an anglo-american legend. Sacrilege! Go for the Dukes of Hazard airhorns. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Keep up the good work...
