Subject:Re: Anyone upgraded the horn?

I put a Mercedes S-class horn setup into my previous Westy.  S-class uses 3 horns, two facing front and one under the right front fender for pedestrians.  I wired them using relays.  Oh, what a beautiful sound!  Classy and attention getting.

My current Westy has a "Herbie" horn and it sounds too cute to remove, so eventually I'm going to install some air horns actuated by a different switch.  That will give a polite "excuse me" horn and a "Hey you @!%&$ bastard get out of my way!"  New-Jersey-style horn.
