    Just wondering if any of you guys know where I might be able to purchase an air compressor for the horn trumpets on my 92 512TR?
    The one on the car is frozen and won't spin anymore...
    Thanks in advance

    Hey Steve;
    Would you happen to know what the part number was for the horn compressor you purchased?
    I went to their web site and couldn't get any info....
    If you have it, if not no problem....I'll drive over there and look for myself.
    Thanks

    Don,
    You gotta know I've done that already....quite a few times.
    It used to work, but I think the damn thing is stuck for good this time.
    Thanks

    Steve,
    Just went to Auto Zone, picked up the compressor horn unit...
    $31.00 with tax (such a deal, haha)
    It's installed, I kept my original trumpets and works like a charm.
    Thanks a million for the tip.

    I did the same on Saturday. Keep the horns I think they are the same but mount differently.

    The compressor should have a hole on top for periodic lubrication. You might be able to take the compressor apart and clean it up.
