ok guys! time for another mod!!!
i was looking around the shop and found a Co2 tank and i thought it would work good for a train horn! and once i get my set up then eventually invest in a tank and compressor...
but any way i was wondering what all i would need if i have a horn off a peterbilt and my Co2 tank?
i have used the search button..... but i didnt find what i was lookin for

Thanks

Get a bigger tank. That horn will drain the Co2 one in a few seconds.

Find a electric quick release valve, like in a pipe organ, and use that to blow the horn using your factory horn wiring.

 

the bottle is a 50lb cylinder (about the size of a large N02 bottle) which i think will last a decent amount of time?
plus sense my dad works for AIRGAS i get real cheap refills

and do you know where i could get a valve like the one you speak of?

Thanks

50lb tank.. Geez dude how are you planning on mounting that?

 

you wanna get a compressor so you dont have to worry about getting refills.. but make sure you wire a on/off switch for your compressor so it only fills when you tell it too.... so after you blow your horns you compressor doesnt start making a ton of noise and give you away!

 

thats another plus with having my dad work at AIRGAS.... lol they sell a cylinder mounting bracket that i modified to hold the 50lb-er

its vary similer to the ones they use to mount nitrous bottles

 

thanks thats a good idea! ill keep that in mind when i get my compressor!

 

or you could just run a governer that turns the compressor on when it senses pressure is low and cuts it off at the pressure you set

 

BAM!

electric air solenoid, great deals on Business Industrial, eBay Motors on eBay!

even better!! Shiny!!

hey guys i was thinking while at work last night about what i could do for an air supply when a Lincoln with air suspension pulled up and i thought would i be able to take the compressor and electronic valve out of that and make it work?

 

Maaaybe... I dunno if that valve will release fast enough.

 

not sure but i know i took an air suspension compressor out of a ford thunderbird and it could not pump up a tire....not sure how much air pressure u need but i doubt the suspension one will work.

 

how about a compressor that i can get from the JY?

 

ok guys heres the progress!

 

any body have an idea on where to mounting my chain type pulling valve for my horn?
