Hi Jack,
Since the horn is intermittent in nature, I really wouldn't worry about
the amperage it draws.
Personally, I think Charlie made a good call with his Hella horns he has
on his new beauty. They draw a little over 5 amps and have both high and
low tones. I'm thinking about getting a pair myself and mounting them
somehow in the original location...perhaps pointing sideways, but I need
to do some checking on clearances, first.

I also think that the Harbor Freight one will work just fine for you.
Plus, it's quite a bit cheaper.

| One horn on the Eldo has gone silent. I am thinking of disconnecting the stock horns and leaving them place to retain stock appearance. Then, I will get a real pair of horns and mounting them discretely below the tank. Harbor Freight has Fiamm horns but they are said to draw 5 amps each. There is a guy on E-bay selling universal mount 12v horns that are said to draw only 1.5 amps and put out 105 dB. I plan to add a horn relay, but the 1.5 amp horns are appealing. Does anyone have input into this? Jack Lundberg Colorado Springs Colorado '72 Ambassador, '73 Eldorado |
