Cool Fiamm Air Horns

I plan on transplanting a set of Fiamm air horns into the Clubby from my present car. Anyone have any experience installing aftermarket horns on a F54?

not on a F54 but on plenty of other cars .... what's the question?

Are you gonna replace, add them as dual system or want 'em on a switch to select?

Want 'em on regular horn button or a sep' button?

On GEN1 and 2 the horns are already on a relay, but when putting in air horns I always put them on a sep' relay just to be safe.

Need a basic wiring diagram?

If you have specific questions, pm me

I have a set of Fiamm Italian electric horns (loud and very Euro) and a set of 5 air horns in my 79 with a dash toggle to select which is active when I tap the horn button on the stalk ...

the air horns play a bar from Colonel Bogey March, aka the song from Bridge Over the River Kwai

Thanks Capt BJ for the answer. The wiring is not the issue. This will be the 3rd car I install these horns on. They are a vintage set of Series 2000s with compressor that I love. My clubby is on order, awaiting a ship to cross the pond, and I'm just trying to see if anyone has figured out placement on the F54. I'll likely replace the factory set with these as the main horn set and have them work with the button. I will install them with a relay as they have always been wired this way. Just like these....
