New compact horn installed

[Pistacchio sprint 72]

I was shoked how useless was the original honk in the traffic.
I bought this compact horn to be louder.

I got it friday evening and could not wait this morning!
I found a useless piece of metal already in place inside the engine bay nose.
There was a perfect hole already in place to receive the nut necessary to hold the horn in place.

It was a straight wire swap from the old horn to the new one.

It delivers 120 db or something likethat.
I need to go for a drive and honk a few suv

Looks like they gave you a relay with the new set-up,have you used it?

Nah, there was already a relay in the original wiring for the previous electric horn.
Is that bad?

[john.p.clegg]

No,that's fine...

That is a tidy & compact horn.
Where can they be sourced & how much do they cost please.

Cheers

The original model is made by fiam an italian horn company.
Mine is from another brand but
much look alike i did not care.

Looks good, thinking of fitting something similar to mine as will need to relocate my current horns.

Some thing similar can be picked up from harbour freight for less than $40 here in the US.

For those in North America Ray @ RD Enterprises has them.

Looks like there's a small compressor attached. Is is an air horn? If so, is there the delay one experiences with an air horn?

Trick I used on my Elan was to wire new horn and old horns in series. That way, if you just need a small tap to get someones attention in a parking lot or in city traffic, the old horns respond instantly. But if you need the air horn, just press hard on the horn button and you get everyone's attention.

[john.p.clegg]

Surely you mean "wired in parallel"..otherwise you'd only get 6v at each horn?

Clever idea, garyb and john.p is correct about the wiring (though simplistic about the voltage in series, especially if the original is a vibrating reed horn)! Just being pedantic.
