Air Horn install
Hey D, I am curious with you about some air horns. I have Italian air horns on my Miata. They were designed for an easy install on the Miata.
Where are the horns on my Clubman? I have looked in the engine compartment but there's not much room for anything extra.
What is FIAMM?

FIAMM is just a brand of inexpensive air horns.
On GEN1 the horns are behind the bumper one to a side....at the ends. Not a lot of room. I have not looked on GEN2 put since I ain't seen 'em elsewhere I think that's a good place to look.
I had cheap air horns on a Miata too ... Crazy Red packaged FIAMMs with good instructions and a relay and a bracket (about 10 cents value but it worked) but the horns died in 18 months for me twice. When you need BEEP it is not good to get squeek..
Before I sold my Miata I installed this....

Just a sample vendor....the horn is made by Steble and very popular among the biker crowd from what I can tell. It worked well but I sold the car and can't report on how it held up. It is small enough that you may be able to get it into the stock horn's spot.
Harbor Freight has a knock off: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=94117
but hey...if going to HF why not just

Thx BJ. I have the Crazy Red's horns on my Miata for 5-6 years now. They are working fine. Maybe not tomorrow though..one never knows.
www.mmiata.com has an airhorn by Wolo called the Bad Boy. It looks compact, costs $48 and the sound track sounds like what I am looking for (like the Italian horns).
If this product is not too big, I will buy it and try to fit it in someplace, but before which, I will get my car on a lift to see where the horns are now and what room there is.
I hope I will be able to find this thread in a few weeks.
