Musical Air Horn installation

[taylooor]

Hey guys,

Gonna buy a La Cucaracha air horn off ebay and going to install it in my VT.
Now I know some of you will be like, "thats so gay and ****" but that's the whole reason why im getting it

But, seeing as though I am actually the worst person when it comes to electrical stuff, would any of you be able to install it for me?
Cash awaits, obviously.

I'd also want to be keeping the original horn too and just have a switch for the air horn, mainly for legal reasons and all that jazz.

Im located in Carrum, Victoria.
Will travel though.

They are very easy. From compressor, negative side to battery or body. Positive side to switch, then from switch to battery, easy.

i have "whistling dixie", spewin' i didnt get La Cucaracha, would've suited my impala better in hindsight. plus put the horns in such a difficult spot to get to

anyway yeah, installing is easy-as. DIY it mate just hide the trumpets as best you can. cops can give you a canary for them, even if they are hooked to a switch.

I wouldn't mind getting a single tone horn for the odd moments when the OEM horn just won't get the message across. Anyone know if this is legal, would it depend on how loud the horn was?

 

[ari666]

its not the volume thats the issue, its the tone.

had to use an image cos dotars are a bunch of retards who cant make a pdf copy/paste-able

so what those rules mean are basically, 1. as long as it doesnt sound like a police car, ambulance etc. 2. as long as it is a not a reapeating noise (i.e. siren) 3. as long as it is single tone = RWC.

so whistling dixie is out cos it has more than one tone.

edit* oh thats ADR 42 - general safety. if you wanna google it section 20

Can you make a horn say "FFFFUUUUUCCCCKKKKK YOU" in one tone?

Just for those people that cut you off.

I had the "Dukes of Hazzard" tune (whatever it is called) in my Torana in the late '80s in Qld. The plod heard it one night, pulled me over and fined me for "Creating undue noise through manner of operation".....lol

Interestingly, a mate got the same fine for doing a little skid !

 

[taylooor]

Yeah i've read a fair few things about that multiple tones making it illegal.
Fair enough too I suppose.

But still, I would rather someone install it for me because im rubbish at doing things like that/paranoid i'll screw something major up

Yeah I heard something about that too, all the more reason for me to get someone else to do it
