Horns

[newkitman]

Was viewing the TD video and was thinking about the horns he has in the video and that brought up a question. Do you folks have the regular horn car PLUS the air horn or just the car or air horn? I’m thinking of connecting the dual air horn to the regular car horn system  using the horn button. Still might go with the aooga horn in the video.

I wanted air horns but couldn’t find nice chrome or stainless ones that I could afford.  Went to a marine swap meet and found a nice 50 year old stainless air horn for $20.  Ended up having to buy a cheap set of plastic horns to get a compressor.  I left the old horns in and can switch from one to the other but probably never will.  I blow my horn only about once per year, – but when I push the button, I sure want to be noticed.  Which one is all a matter of personal taste.  I have what Julie liked best.

 I only have the air horns.

Had air horns but took them off. Currently using a pair of horns from ’70’s Impala.
Back when domestic cars had real horns. 
Works real well.

I’ve had these 3+ years with no chips or flaking and they are plenty loud.  Cheaper than most regular horns too.

I have a VW horn and a horn from a Harbor Freight dual horn kit. They’re both wired together through a relay and work via the dashboard horn button.

They’re pretty loud and got me noticed, for instance, when a dumbkoft in a mini van started backing up toward me while stopped at a red light.

The steering wheel horn button on my car does not work.

I’m still using the air horns that came on her.  Had to replace a vaccum line when my grandson found the horn button.  He woke EVERYONE in the city.  It’s really loud, and we need something to grab the attention of those dumbkofts in mini vans.  Like, oh crap, where’s that simi truck at!!

Ringo. Are your horns metal or plastic? Also, do you use the steering wheel horn button or a separate horn button?

Mine are metal.  My horn button is a momentary, boat type, on the left side of the dash, close to my hand.
