Ahhh... Gav, I think someone's jealous!

Is someone getting horn envy?

But seriously - after hearing Ron's truck horn, and knowing I was always going to fit endless air, then it was always going to happen. I would be just as happy with a truck horn, but for $130 I can get a bit louder.

I can see now there will be a few ****ed off people at Melrose when we have a sound off at 2am after a few bottles of SA's finest reds...

Hey Gav, do you think Alien would nitice if you nicked his?

I am not happy about any of this.
Everyone is getting more hornyer and more powerful than me

Maybe not for a few hours depending on when it disappeared...

By then, it would be tucked away in its new home...

Ah, but you can take the pride of knowing you were the instigator and forerunner in all of this!

So, the tank is mounted. No holes drilled in the 101, just mounted off the front cross member using the pintle hook bolts.







From the front it sits up a couple of inches above the top of the crossmember, but I didn't want any hanging down below. Although it looks like it will block a bit of airflow to the radiator, I doubt that will be the case in reality.

So tomorrow I'll have the pressure switch, relief valve, fittings and hoses. Then it's onto the mechanicals, which I'm dreading... While I have all the bits, I'm sure something will bite me on the arse - I'm thinking bolts missing, no holes in the block where the brackets mount, etc.

More fun to come I'm sure - stay tuned.

That looks like a good spot in there for it! Piping is the easy bit. Use the truck type plastic line and push together couplings with brass fittings out of the tank. Just looking at the pic of it fitted... Looking at your oil cooler..... That's another thing that was missing on mine!!!! grrrrrrr!!
