Hella Twins fit nicely.

Those horns might be ok.
However, whatever powers them might be the problem.
Is there a relay? Is it operating? Does the earth side of the relay connecting properly?
Is the horn switch wiring all intact? Has the switch failed?

In my Def I had to install a relay, after replacing the original stalk switch. Both the original and the replacement switches were too frail to last the distance. - Poor connections causing heat, that then melted the nylon substrate that held the contacts. A relay solved the problem.

HELLA 003399801 Supertone

118db is good enough I find…. If they don’t hear them they aren’t hearing you anyway.

The original D2 horns had both a lovely tune and were as best I can tell waterproof. If repeated dunkings at Cape York didn't kill them then clearly they are. I don't know that the Supertones are as they advertise only "Corrosion and water-spray resistant".

Have you fully immersed yours in water crossings Mike?

There is always the option with the D2 of getting a set from a wreck.

Cheers

Thanks all may try the Hellas the originals drowned in a quite deep creek crossing I didn't think the crossing was that deep but apart from horns no problems can't sat the same for my mates MUX .

Drowned the factory ones in a single crossing.

The Hellas have had a fair workout and still ok.
