Jim,

I installed dual Buel air horns earlier in the year.  I replaced the 20 year
old single that sounded more like a large dieing mammel than a horn.  I used
the existing CO2 bottle/regulator system and it works great.  I removed the
tank and had it checked and refilled at a welding supply store.  It will be
interesting to see how long one bottle will last.  I have the regulator set
at about 60 psi.  You will need a solenoid for the horn button as well.
