Changing the Horn on my 360

Post by NasoNex »

Hi.

Just wondered if the Horn on my 87' 360 GL is supposed to sound as a whale?
It sounds pretty silly if you ask me.. :roll:

Think ill change it to something a bit more classy :)

Lol, GLT's have a pair of horns, that sound a lot more stately than the single horns in 340's. Not sure if our GLE has a pair as standard, or what the 360GL has out the box though.

James, You running the twin nautilus?

I found this place (pity they can't spell what they sell):

There's also some on eBay - where did you buy from?

No, I bought a GP2 kit in black from eBay for very cheap. The Nautillus does look AWESOME though, and I think I'll buy one for the 360.

Hmmm,

Considering the direction these topics normally end up taking, it suprises me that no-one has made any comments about having 'got the horn' yet.

...D'oh!

PS. and Ronnie's comment about a pair of tits went relatively unnoticed. Is Mick Redline ill or something?
