next the horn ! - snapper - 04-05-13

Thanks for the help with the lights !
My next Question is the bout the horn !

I did search and find a thread were a more powerful direct replacement was shown but I cant find it  anyone have any ideas ?



Re: next the horn ! - snapper - 04-05-13

HaHa fuzzy searched 8 pages of your posts  finally found it but this wasnt it it was a simple replacement looked the same as standard but much loader  thinking it may even have been on the old site !

I have this acumen one. Really loud for a standard looking horn.

Took 10 mins to fit as uses standard wiring.
And as a bonus comes in a nice tin, I keep all my Dremel bits in mine..  :lol

Re: next the horn ! - snapper - 05-05-13

how many decibels is the standard horn? i have an old horn off a scrap clio,  i was planning on adding this as well as the standard horn.

Re: next the horn ! - FuZzBoM - 09-05-13

Horns do tend to draw a fair amount of current. You may need a relay so that you don't burn the switch out.

I was also tempted with one but read some reviews they die after a year or so. and if water gets in it then its screwed..
Also like mine looking standard so Mr MOT does not moan.


Re: next the horn ! - snapper - 11-05-13

Thanks Karlos but neither of them are stebel both clones
not fussed about the mot a bit of rag in the right place will work wonders

as for water  not heard that before ?

Re: next the horn ! - ghostbiker - 11-05-13

I did the steble upgrade, lasted just under 18months before it died and I was never over happy with the fitment.
While it worked it was Awsome. My mot guy almost had kittens when he hit the horn on the test LOL
Didn't bother with another in the end, and just went with the same acumen One as shown above. I to use the tin still LOL but I keep washers in it Tongue
It's much louder than oe but not in the same class as the steble.

Ps I got my steble from halfords, though back then there were a lot of them on eBay etc to.
A mate has Dixie horns on his blade LOL. Dukes of hazards style Tongue compressor under seat, wired through a relay and about 6 horn tubes in the fairing

Nippy Normans used to supply Stebel.

Re: next the horn ! - Fuzzy - 12-05-13

I got these, they come in pairs and the 500hz/600hz version is best imo.

Has resisted a lot of crappy weather and has a nice, loud tone. Needed a relay though.

Just wire them through a relay.
