StarQ Posted June 22, 2009 Share #1 Posted June 22, 2009 I know a lot has been posted about the Stebel Nautilus Air Horn. I took a few pictures of my installation on my RSTD and wanted to share them. Stebelhorn1.jpg shows how I mounted the relay under the right side cover next to the coolant overflow tank. Stebelhorn2.jpg shows the wiring according to the wiring diagram included with the horn package. Stebelhorn3.jpg shows the brackets I made from aluminum bar stock. Aluminum is easy to drill and bend. Not shown in the picture is the slight bend I made in each bracket to get the horn to sit back closer to the frame. I used a large adjustable wrench to hold the brackets while I hand-bent them. Bend away from you on the end that bolts to the original horn bracket, bend towards you on the other end. The brackets are hidden behind the horn so they don't have to look pretty. Stebelhorn4.jpg shows the finished project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarQ Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share #4 Posted June 22, 2009 Here is a picture where I traced the outline of the brackets I made with a few notes. Not shown in the picture is the slight bend I made in each bracket to get the horn to sit back closer to the frame. I used a large adjustable wrench to hold the brackets while I hand-bent them. Bend away from you on the end that bolts to the original horn bracket, bend towards you on the other end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davecb Posted June 23, 2009 Share #6 Posted June 23, 2009 If you take the chrome cover off the back side and silicon it on the top it looks even better.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarQ Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share #7 Posted June 26, 2009 I took it off and am keeping it as a spare. Good idea with the top chrome, though. If you take the chrome cover off the back side and silicon it on the top it looks even better.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
