Sponnie,

Another good reason as well as tyre pumping...... ;)

I fitted this exact same kit, in the video clip, in my Suzuki Carry van a while back.

Compressor/tank in an old steel filing drawer bolted under the rear end where the spare tyre was.
The horns under the bonnet, plenty of room due to engine being under the seats.

Right laugh! :laugh: :laugh:

Keefe - Who can suppy me this? Its perfect!! I googled this a while back, watching mainly Americans scaring the crap out of people outside bars! lol.

I don't condone irresponsible use, but those "non english" people last week who cut me and a biker up. Then tried knocking the biker off for being rightly peed off and upset. Would have deserved a good toot on this!!

LoL!

I dropped on a triple set of horns, tubing, brackets, compressor (attached to tank), switch, etc etc on Ebay from a company down south around 4 years ago.

They just had this set left, from an American company, brand new and if I remember correctly, they cost me £120 inc p+p.

When I sold the Carry, if I had known it was being exported to Nigeria, HONEST! I would have removed them. :dry:

If you have a compressor already and tank then easy peasy. All you need are your horns, tubing, I used the same or similar to Martins' breather pipe, 8 or 6mm (?)
Push to fit connectors, relay, switch and a 12v valve.
All bits easily sourced.
Have fun.

Sorry for robbing the thread.
Mods please move if needed..

K :)

Scuse my ignorance guys but whats the advantage of having a tank over and above just the ARB high output compressor. I bought an airline kit specifically for my ARB to do the tyres and it seems to work okay as it is?

Does the tank just make it quicker or place less stress on the compressor?
