Train Horns

[700 sportsman]

Hey guys, last week I ordered up a set of hornblasters train horns. They came in today, and I am very impressed with the quality of all of the parts. All the fittings are brass, all hardware is stainless, the viair compressor seems to be pretty nice as well.

Tonight I mounted the compressor inside my toolbox, and I have two things I'd like some input on. One is the intake for the compressor, my tool box isn't totally sealed but has foam around the top and was wondering if I should pipe out the intake just to ensure a good supply of air? Also I was toying with the idea of adding in an air chuck for tires and whatnot. What would be the best way to plumb that in, wouldn't just a simple Tee in the main feed line from the compressor work fine?

I'll be sure to take pictures and will post a video as well

Only a complete and total asshole would put train horns on his truck.




Which is exactly why I'd like to have them!

I would draw air from out side the tool box. You might have enough on the inside but why take the chance of not. And I would think a T would work just fine. Can't wait to see the end results. Good luck.

I have the nathan air chimes on my truck... I have my tank and compressor in my box. It gets plenty of air.. fills the 5 gallon tank up quick.

Does your box have the foam strips around the top? I'm thinking it will be fine, but for 10 mins. Worth a work I think I might just do it anyway to make sure

You can always make "Drain" holes in the bottom of the box if need be, they would be out of sight so to speak.

Done Yet?
