Wink Horn installation!

I'm currently in the progress of installing my 150 psi train horn.

The car has been siting like this or 3 days because I've been too busy but here is what I'm planning



The compressor will go here


The tank will go here


An the horn will go here

Can you guys see it now? I can. But my dad picked it up at the flea market. Mine is just pieced together from different places. But I just got the horn mounted about 30 minutes ago. The little red plastic ones?

That's not going to set off your airbags when you use it, is it?

Loud noises can't trigger the bags, I believe Greybeard is joshing you a bit, nice horn install by the way.

Cool

Here is the progress: I have the horn, air tank, and compressor, and switch to go between air horn and factory horn, tomorrow is wiring it all and Monday is plumbing it all


Haha. I have no problem installing one now that I know what to do. The hardest part was coming up with the places to mount everything and the mounts for the pieces. I ended up making a trip to home depot and picking up so 3/4 in square tubing and made a mount for the compressor and the tank mounted right up where the factory horn is, I moved the factory horn just behind the bracket for the headlight and the horn, I just found a piece of aluminum from the screen enclosure around my pool and cut it up and made it work.

note to self: if can't find material to fab a bracket, tear it off my house/fence or whatever is handy..
