What the heck is this and is t original?

[Amstaff]

Any idea what this is?

It is on a 1970T on the drivers inner fender with a hose that runs near the battery box. Maybe for air horns?

[PushinRice]

Air horn compressor?

[Amstaff]

That's what I was thinking. Would it be original or an aftermarket piece?

According to the COA the car was sold new in Italy.

[proporsche]

basically, you have asked and the answer is, it is not an original part for Porsche 911 even in Italy or anywhere else;-)

[proporsche]

Nope, no horns but may throw then on just to see what it does

Stebel makes air horns. I have their nautilus in my SC. Very compact and LOUD at 135db.

[SCadaddle]

Hehe.

I had a Fiamm 2 trumpet air horn set up on my Fiat 128 back in the day. Had a longer length of hose to one trumpet than the other after the Y connection. It sounded like a sick donkey...... EEEEEEE-ONNNNNKKKKK!

I think they were actually available from the factory. Stebel is a well known horn manuf. and has made horns for Porsche as well.

[964TargaC2]

yes its an air compressor for two tone horns, the musical ones has four to six outlets/hoses (Depending on notes) I had a set up on my MGC-GT that played Bridge over River Kwai (Col Bogey March)..

The yellow cap is for some very thin oil for the compressor
