Hornblasters Train Horn Kit Install - Wake The Dead

10.Then, a third piece of steel strap was used to tie on the front and rear mounting points.

11.Shawn tack-welded the assembly to test-fit the setup before welding the whole mount together.

12.The assembly was then fully welded and painted to inhibit rust. Painting the part is a must since the assembly will be mounted under the bed of the truck.

13.Next, the horns were assembled onto the bracket and each fitting wrapped in Teflon tape to ensure against air leaks.

15.The HornBlasters kit comes with a trick five-way junction that allows equal amounts of air to be fed directly to each horn from an electric solenoid valve, and keeps the horns from deafening everyone when you choose. Notice the ear protection? We're not kidding - these things are loud.

16.Here's the electric valve that was supplied by HornBlasters. It's rated at 175 psi; our 150-psi compressor can't even begin to hurt it.

17.Once the horn mount assembly was bolted into place, we installed the electric valve and plumbed the air line to the horn from the air supply tank.

18.The air tank was mounted cleanly inside the framerail along the passenger side of the truck. Later, we'll plumb the tank with a quick disconnect to easily add air to the truck's tires whenever the need arises.

19.Just behind the air tank sits our workhorse - a Viair 350C compressor. We're going to make this little 1.48-cfm 100 percent duty cycle compressor work for a living.
