This morning i got my K3HA (finally).
It arrived 1 week late but i don’t care, now it’s here!!!
It’s painted glossy black but it’s way dirty… it looks flat black 
Now i’m giving it a very good clean inside and outside.
I just opened the big one and the diaphram looks good (not bent).
I gave it a blast (all three together) and they sound OK 
But we tried it with a friend who only had a 1/4" reductor… so i suppose that blasting it with 1/2" directly sounds way louder.
HAPPYYYYYY
Hooray! Yeah just wait until you get it hooked up to 1/2" line…it will really blow u away!
eheh but line is not the only problem… i have to figure out how to install it on my car. I will have to separate the horns… what a mess!!!
P.S. i added some pics 
as you can see paint is to be stripped… but horns are good!!!
Yeah whoever painted those previously did a crap job. If you are going to mount them where they won’t be seen I wouldn’t even bother repainting them and wasting time and money.
Seller claimed railroad painted them. I’ll probably complete painting… at least i’ll have them of one color only.
By the way i now realized i opened this thread in the wrong section. Hope the moderator will forgive me.
I’m going to use separate brackets. This way i’ll have the chance to install them in the engine bay.
I’ll put the big one where the 1510 is now, and the other two… we will see…
So do i have to take 3/8" connectors for each horn and then connect to 1/2"?
I discovered there are more 1/2" connectors, i mean, with different ID. Which one should i buy?
Thanks
3/8" od push to lock will be enough to power them babies. Use a 1/2" valve and line to run to your spiting manifold.
Another day another dollar (spent)
I woke up and decided to go around the town to solve the brackets problem.
I went to a blacksmith and we found a squared shape tubing. He cut three 10cm pieces, then he removed one edge on each piece making them with C shape.
Then he drilled 3 holes, 2 to fix the horns to the brackets, and one for the air.
I bought three 1/4" fittings and three 1/4" snap-in connectors:
So i welded those fittings on the air holes… pretty clean job.
This is the result:
Now i have to cut a piece in the middle of the brackets which will allow me to fix the connectors in the fittings… i’ll help myself with a grinder… now i’m very tired, won’t do anything else in the weekend.
Next monday i’ll bring my car to the friend who helped me with the welding process (the same who helped me to install the 1510) and together try to find 3 good locations in the engine bay.
Once done that i’ll have to paint the brackets… at least i want to apply some primer… they are already getting rusted!!!
It’s coming along nicely. What are you going to use for a manifold?
I’m thinking about two 1/2" T joints so i can run the 1/2" line from the solenoid into the first hole and then use 3/8" tubing on the other 3 holes, one for each horn…
What do you think?
I painted the brackets with a very thin layer of spraypaing, i’d like to prevent the rust till next Monday
Looks good man
I cut the brackets
and installed the connectors
Now i only have to bend the two little wings a few degrees because connector is not alligned with them
Will install at least one horn today on the car.
Nice.
Hope you can find places that the horns fit AND you can fit a drill to make mounting holes. lol
Ok, as i said i installed the first horn.
I removed the 1510
The 1510 brackets were too close to be used with new brackets so i removed one and my friend (the one who’s helping me with the welding process) preferred to weld a little stick between the frame of my car and one side of the new bracket, then i crewed the other side of the new bracket to one of the older brackets.
Hope i’ve explained it clearly.
I made some pics but i’ve used my phone so they’re not so good, i’ll be updating soon
this is how the brackets are now.
I made it today in a rush… i didn’t even eat for lunch.
I’ll be cleaning the area around the bracket and paint it against rust tomorrow when i’m installing the medium horn.
I’ll be placing it vertically under the driver side headlight. Very close to the other one.
Don’t know yet where to place the little one… i’m thinking on the right, behind the radiator, facing down.
I bought a 1/2" X and reduced 3 of the outputs to 1/4" (what i used for brackets).
I’ve always thought my 1510 solenoid was 3/8" but i was wrong, it is 1/8" (still not pretty good with inches).
BTW i hooked up the big horn to my actual system (the one made for the 1510) and man… that is LOUD!
The air was a 120psi tho… does it make that difference at 150???
This is the X i made to split the 1/2" line coming from the solenoid to the three separate horns
The ID of 1/2" connector measures 0.62, the ID of 1/4" measures 0.32 should i be ok with this setting???
I’m still waiting for my solenoid to arrive!
.32" I.D. should be fine going to the individual horns.
That’s about the same size as the 1/2" DOT tubing that lots of people use to supply their whole horn.
Looks good.
great, i’m happy i’m doing it right. thank you
all you need now is a bigger tank and better compressor.
I’m trying to save some money to buy a viair 380… the tank won’t be a problem i’m working for it as well
But for the moment i need the solenoid. Hope to get it within this week.
I finally installed the other two horns on the car… i only have to hide them somehow.
Found a place in the engine bay for them all.
I’m a little disappointed tho.
Since one horn sounded pretty good i wanted to try all of them with my actual system… but only the little horn played a little, with a lot of air loss…
Like when pressure is not enough.
This is the same thing that happened to me when i used 4mm OD line to blast the 1510.
I run the .32" line from the solenoid (1/8") to the X i made (which is 1/2") and then again everything in the three .32" lines (to the horns).
That’s normal, right?
