Hi all,
My inner redneck fancied a Dixie horn! So bought one from eBay.
Fitted today using a couple of offcuts of wood sprayed black (see, even the install is redneck style!). The length of the tubing they give you is pathetic, around 60cm for 5 horns. Luckily my dad had some spare tubing. I've fixed it to the inner wing on the drivers side.
Wired up a push button which I installed in one of the switch blanks.
The install took around 5 hours as I had to throw tools around in the garage for part of that. None of my saws can cut in a straight line (or is that the operator at fault....)
Took it away from the neighbours to give it my first test.
Errr that doesn't sound like the general lee!
They've sent the wrong horn that's La Cucaracha!!! I've sent a very stern email to the eBay seller to get the right one! Obviously this one is out the packaging and scuffed up from the install so they'd better just send the correct one.
I also notice that it plays really fast - from what I've read, it can be slowed down by using a thinner gauge of wire - is that correct?
Maybe I'll just have to roll with it and get a sombrero if not!!!
