Going to try again, had some new Hella red/ black dual tone horns I installed last year after painting car but they crapped out on me, I have one old original OEM- but just not loud enough to get attention of the idiots that doesn’t look and cuts you off- if I can’t be seen I need to be heard!!
Thanks |

Like Jim H, I went for air horns seeing as I was building a GT tribute. The BOSCH "Fanfaren" period correct originals are available but command high $$ - too high to justify IMHO. So I went with a two horn air horn setup with separate compressor. These kits are orders of magnitude cheaper than the Bosch's.
The horns are mounted under the fiberglass bumper, pointing towards the fog light openings - but are hidden from obvious view. I ran a separate loom for the compressor and multiple driving lamps, all relayed and circuit breaker protected. You can see in the photo the compressor is mounted on the front bulkhead, bottom right. Its pretty loud! But if you're not building a car from scratch, a clean, electrically robust install fro these can be time consuming. - Tony |
