Looking for one of those yank juggernaut type air horns for my transit tipper!
live in my local village and know lots of people and am constantly tooting them as a way of greeting them during the day in my travels.

would be highly amusing .

does anyone know where i can get one from pls?

Calling Oliver........

He has got a huge one on his John Deer(tractor), its scarey.

He has linked it up to his air brakes for more PSI.

If he is brakeing whilst horning his brakes dont work.....

Scrapyard off a brit truck? My Dad worked at BT and had one off of a BT truck fitted to his mark 1 escort It was hilarious when the MOT tester asked him to sound the horn while he had his head under the bonnet I still remember that even though I was only about 5

Remember to run it using a relay system......otherwise no go

ajm

alternatively try a chandlers! You should be able to get a dual trumpet two-tone boat horn for the roof of the cab!

hmmm, wonder if I could strap one to the fiesta

I was thinking of getting one for my landy for a laugh. Even if the 2 currently on it are bl00dy loud anyway!

Sith

Ooh Ooh, ajm, do you think that will work? I have a Chandlers not to far from me.

mista weava

I will run it with a relay - fear not!

want it to be as savage as possible!

got to work out how to rig it up with some sort of chain mounted in roof of cab next to driver door !!

I thought truck horns used compressed air from the Main Supply of the lorry

If i can fit one to the car... i want one

mista weava

from what i gather it is possible to fit certain types - hte guy at truck busters seemed preety confident he would be able to supply me with something - i explained the nature of my mischevous intent! - he managed a half hearted chuckle in a sort of hardened lorry drivers way!

ajm

of course it will work! Just make sure its for 12V not 24V, check the current required and fuse/relay adequately... do it! You can even get gizmos for boats that will periodically sound the horn in case you become fog bound!

Anyone decided to fit one of these horns?

mista weava

funnily enough i was thinking about this today!

never sorted it out.

planned todrag up this thread to get the details of the firm i called.

TBH the guy was not all that helpful and never phoned me back as promised.

after that it got lost in the hectisness of day to day stuff.

up for doing it though!

Doesn't sound too bad but on a Scoob I just don't think it would work.
Maybe something higher picthed

air horns on trucks work with air you will need a compressor to make the ones you are thinking of work.

i have 1 on my ambulance it is rigged up to the air tank for the suspension

they are not strictly legal !!
