Horn

Having just completed my Injun Vijai Super resto, have the ubiquitous duck fart AC horn. What can be done to make it at least audible :roll: Is there another type of horn that will sit on the same bracket under the horncast that could be heard by pedestrians/car drivers?

Have you 12 volt electrics? If so I have found 6 v horns give more volume although it's still a duck fart but thru nipped cheeks.....

Hi Mark, tried a few different horns but all gave typical duck fart noise when needed, have come to the conclusion that a full DC conversion, with a battery wired in, is the only way, you usually only need a horn when your throttles closed and braking. I got a horn from a company called Acumen which is very good but have tried a very cheap DC unit and it was fairly good.
Otherwise it's a gas canister and air horns, very 70's
good luck Ian

If you fit a battery, I can recommend a Stebel air horn. Wouldn't fit under the horncasting, but they're reasonably tiny. You could hide it underneath quite easily.
