Subject:      Re: HORN


I put air horns in my 86 Van after I got hit cause a bozo couldn't
hear me.  Put a relay in place of current horn, mount air horn where convienent.
Wire air horn compressor direct from battery via the relay.  Voila, much noise.
Cost about $35 at the FLAPS, JCW should be cheaper.  Get one of those 
"diesel train" setups, would be amusing.
