Forward horns

I’m gonna install my new horns tomorrow and wanted to face them forward. Can I put screen window netting over the bells to help keep out debris and snow? Will doing that hamper the sound at all?

i would do that if you could. if they are real train horns then i wouldnt even bother putting the covers on cuz when you blast em anything thats in there will come out anyway but if they are smaller horns then it wouldnt hurt and air horns are so loud that it will barely affect the sound if not at all.

just get teh bonnets from hornblasters

I second that motion. Protect em.

or buy some nylon socks and pull them over then zipper tie…
thats what im gonna do, saw it here :
