as id like to replace my crappy horn with one of these lol

honestly dont know a horn is a horn dont think there is any regulations aslong as its only got 1 or 2 tones

Correct me people if im wrong

Your Highness, as long as you still keep your original horn as a primary horn, you can fit pretty much anything as a secondary horn. the main problem is finding an air horn with a 12v solenoid & a compressed air supply to fit on your motor. the TTC catalogue has some fairly loud stuff. I would recommend looking in a copy of Truck & Driver magazine for 'train' horns.

lmfao yeah, I wanted one ever since seeing that vid of a guy driving an ST182 round with a train horn on it scaring people lol

I know you certainly can't have one as your main horn - didn't think about a secondary one though, hmmm :D

a compressed air supply to fit on your motor

I'm sure as long as it is of a constant note it's legal, not sure over the db levels though. I'll check the mot reg's monday lol

air horns use some big volumes of compressed air, does your truck have a reservoir or just a pump?

now they are illegal on anything built after either 1973 or 1976 (mind going, can't remember which) But I do know a local yokel with a set on a ZETOR tractor...

I had an air horn fitted to my nova - wasnt that impressed with it tbh - worked well for a while but in the mechanism itself theres little slats of metal that when it spins create the noise - they kept sticking making a weak noise.

So ai ditched it and got a really deep 2 tone horn from a motor factors - well loud and certainly more beefy than the standard nova p1sh
