Air horn trumpets

[rmgill]

I have now managed to loose a third air horn tumpet. I lost both off my old airhorn. Bought a new one and now, after last weekend just running around on some errands I have lost another trumpet.

WTH?

Anyone else have this issue? Next set I get I'm safetywiring those bloody things on there.

I'm good... Try using lock nuts with lock washers and some blue loc-tite..... If you have a problem after that. Then you wernt meant to have them on there....

I've had several that just wouldn't stay on, vibration shook them loose.

Red loctite.

I lost one and I used Loc-tite and I drilled and tapped for a set screw in the housing.

I have used a soft set pipe thread sealant on mine to keep them from falling off. Maybe some teflon tape would work too.

Saftey wiring them together at the bell, to stop rotation would work well.

This latest set were ON there. I tried removing one to check and they were painted in. Clearly the vibration fixed things so it could unscrew.

I swear, next part I have that needs to be loosened after years of being stuck, I'll just clamp it to the fender of my truck and drive around. Course, knowing my luck, the clamp would come loose and I'd loose the part.
