I know that musical air horns are not aloud up front

So i was thinking about bolting them to the underside of the boot floor.... not in the spare wheel well, as it'll be tooooooo low, would this be a good place to put them?

[Bungle]

yep

on the back subframe

or you can get 3 horns behind the front number plate

[Dog]

Well this is a 5 horn jobbie...
Maybe, 2 behind the number plate, and three along, behind the grille?

Best place to put them? In the box. next to a big magnesium fire......

nah come on...
Ok not the "best" rated things you can have, but I fancied some

The hose that comes in the kit is a bit short....

[pikey7]

Well in that case, put them on a roof bar along with some KC daylighters, and cover the car in yankee flag stickers!

(on a serious note, don't extend the hose, it'll lessen the air pressure to the horns and make them not work properly....)

Ta for the tip

Maybe I should look on ebay to see if I can find a General Lee Car cover? (Thank god I didn't get Dixie Horns!)

Hey, what's wrong with the dixie horn and the general lee??

I painted my first banger in general lee colours Had the flag on the roof and everything

I always thought this but apparently it doesn't (pointed out to me on a similar thread here months ago)......I bought extra pipe from B&Q to make it fit as i wanted it and then fitted them to a roof bar with a fixed switch on the dash, much easier.....

Make sure you use a relay when you wire them up as they fry fuses !

[Pie]

Mart, ive put mine in the boot!!! They are bolted to the parcel shelf and they work a treat as you can connect them directly to the battery

[Jake Blues]

Isn't it better to have them outside the car? Quieter for the driver and people can hear them....


No relay on TC's, just the right amperage switch, wire and fuse.

[Dog]
