you want the twin supertone horn... 2 red and black circles

 

If you go to a well known auction site, item number 290065742462, you can get them for £43 delivered.

are these easy to fit? same connectors and stuff??

 

I'm with you there.




It's very fast and easy to install because it requires only ONE fixing point and a single electrical connection. I pulled the connector off one of the two OE horns & ran a separate earth to the chassis for the other terminal.

The excellent sound output of approx 139 decibels !Is INSTANT thanks to a perfectly balanced air jet system. The air intake has a patented system that gives a pleasant High and Low tone with surprising power. The main body comes in red (like mine), black or chrome.

Hella supertones sound tinny and rather rubbish.
Better off going to your local halfords and getting the Stebel twins with a relay. WTF now that's loud! £20+relay.

as flat eric said easy,on the classic it is possible (just) to fit it on the cebtre strengthner of the front panel,so its not ssen behind number plate but still sounds loud nothing blocking the sound.

 

Stebel looks the favourite then!

cheers guys

 

Just noticed they do a "compact" version now that's even smaller but with the same output. £23.99 inc VAT with FREE UK DELIVERY

quite like the look of 'Stebel Twin Horn TM80/2', sold by Speeding.co.uk; anyone fitted these?

 

Have a look on the Stebel site, they have click on sound samples so you can compare the different sounds.

Yep, available from halfords with relay included in pack.
Ideal fit and far better than the hellas.

I got the PIAA twin horns, £27 does the job, sounds better than the original scoob horn, and it does'nt cause the elderly to mess there inncontinence knickers when you beep it. Its a good all rounder.

 

I fitted a dual tone horn from a Ford Mondeo also they can be found on Escort Vans W reg onwards . Done away with the horn behind the grill on the classic used the bracket from escort and fitted it behind the bumper on classic i now have a loud deep blast instead of a stupid beep.

 

These guys have the Nautilus compact at £16 (+£4 p&p) any issues?

 

Hella supertones are crap almost as bad as the originals just louder i'd definately look at something nice loud and deep (like train horns )

 

I have the Nautilus on mine. It scared me when I checked it was working.

 

cheers guys - got my first job of the new year to do now then!

happy new year as well!

 

okay, daft question - how does a new two electrical connector horn fit, when the original horns have one connector wired up only?!

 

its earthed usually with the fixing bolt that holds it on either by wire supllied or the horn bracket acts as an earth sould say in horn instructions
