Got Bored, So I Made A Horn Bracket...

OK

So recently, I was waiting for some parts and materials, oh and funds to pay for all of this. When I decided to make a bracket to hang my cheapo air-horns I had bought from Harbor Fraud.  

This could also be called: "How to build a forty dollar bracket for a twenty dollar horn."

For starters, we need a simple form to use for laminating on. This form happens to be part of my headlight bucket project too.


I use freezer paper and spray tack to create a good non-stick release barrier.


Here is the area for cutting the carbon fiber, a rotary cutting tool and straight edge work great.


Good organization helps, this is my mixing station.


Sorry I flaked getting any pics of the actual laminating process, things move fast and gloves get sticky, not good for cameras.  Here is the finished rough laminate shape.



getting a rough idea of where I want to put the horns.



Traced out the shape I wanted.


And finally, cut out shape, still needs some final sanding.


I will get a few more pics of the actual install tomorrow, do not know how I missed that.  Extra material from this project will be used to mount the little compressor near the horns. I have found funding for parts, so other things are progressing again.  

Peace, Wolf

Hahah those are the horns I was talking with you about yesterday  You should take a vid of them honking and post it on Youtube so we can hear it

all I see are red x's lol

Strange... he's using photobucket, too. Can you see photobucket images or do you have a server that for some reason blocks 'em?

Pics show on mine.

I was wondering why it cost $40 to make a bracket. I was thinking I spit things like that out for pocket change all the time. I see now though.

zastabaIs this one of those horns that plays the "Dukes of Hazard" tune?

SAAB 900s came with something like this but it was a fresh air cabin intake. Some people got in the habit of chopping that part of the hood out and using it for things like a cold air intake.

Gratuitous use of said vent:

Im thinking of doing this with the vents from a Celica All-Trac/GT4




The factory OEM hood is four separate pieces, two of them each vent, I just used the carbon fibre one for the only closeup I could find



there we are! just waiting for a pair to pop up on ebay, the dealer wants too much for them and most dont have them in stock anymore

Celica All-Trac hood vents

sry but i have to say it

Glad I don't have to be the only asshole on the forum.

i wonder if a s13 coupe se wing would fit gonna have to try that since i got one hanging around

hmmm i think just do louvers by the turbo area if you have one or a set just by the exhaust manifold on both side for symetry

what did you use to get the basic shape
