  6. I made my own cost nothing u havnt bought it have u as I could make u 1 or show u mine
     
  7. That's great, I havent bought one & would like to take you up on your very kind offer.
    Maybe you could show me how yours is set up & then guide me through doing mine?
    Do you have a list of things I'll need to buy in advance?

    Zed Gradually getting grumpier

    ...and as long as your rear lights have bulb holders fitted - some don't so worth checking first. They can be retro fitted if they're not there.

    Has anyone ever fitted an air horn to their van? Since I was young and impressionable I've loved musical air horns, and wondered whether now is the time to make my dream a reality :)

    Is it a feasible thing to do to an old van?
