Help with an install......Nathan P3's

Installation Help & Advice Horn Kits
1

Whats up folks. I was recommended to this site by someone on another forum (non-related), who let me know there was plenty of knowledge on hand here to help me through my install and with any questions. After having this horn set for a few years, I have been eager to get the items I need to make it all happen, and get them mounted up. I’ve finally acquired the funds to throw at this project, so its ‘go’ time.

I am putting the horns under my 2007 Tundra (doublecab, 2wd). I honestly haven’t even scouted out a prime location, but I’ll goes as far as to remove the spare if need be.

Here is what I have:

  • Nathan P3’s (pics below)
  • Viair 450C compressor
  • air tank

From what I can gather, these are some items I need:

Obviously, being green to this…I have some questions. Hopefully I can get some facts and opinions on these:

  1. Besides how to mount these items, and a momentary switch…does anyone have any suggestions, as far as the parts linked above? Recommendations from one to the other…instead of the ones I selected?

  2. Anything I will need in addition, besides fittings and hose?

  3. Anyone mounted horns under a Tundra? I am actually looking to make something that can be removed (obviously not easily, but if/when I sell the vehicle…something not permanent)

  4. There are several inlets for air supply on the manifold (pictured below). Is there a recommended port to use, or does it matter?

  5. Is there any specific distance I need between the compressor, tank, pressure switch, solenoid, etc?

I am sure I have more questions…maybe some feedback will answer them ahead of time. Once I get closer to being operable, I will likely have some questions as well…like what pressure I should run through my P3’s.

Here is a test blast with some shop air… check out the dust (and disregard the header…and wrong ID of the horns)

Thanks, I did happen to find that…just wish the pictures were a bit bigger. I know its hard to get good pics of something from the ground though. :slight_smile:

I did some searching online, and found several threads (most are older) on various forums… but the pics are no longer hosted. :frowning: I’ve got somewhat of a game plan for what to do…mostly by reading the narrative on all of the threads I found.

Anyone have any suggestions for actually HOW to make my “chassis” to mount the tank/horns/compressor to? I was intending on using the angle iron (1/8" thick, steel version of garage door opener bracketry). I am going to make it a non-permanent fixture…
