Some adjustments to the dimensions will probably be needed to fit the parts that you find.

Hope this helps!

Oh yeah - all dimensions are in inches :)

I'm using a bit of 4 AWG welding cable above the bell so it's somewhat bendable. Got to work on another set of feet!

Finally had a chance to work on this again:

It needs a little more priming and sanding and I plan to use semi-gloss black on this version.

I turned the horn (maple) on a lathe because I couldn't find something that was close enough. The closest thing I could find was a HEMI exhaust valve. :)

Making the "legs/feet" is the hardest part. The holes for the dowels (legs) require a multiple angle when drilling.

ATL! I know this is delayed, but I LOVE the new one! You really got the balance just right this time! Looks great :) But I gotta ask... So many months later and I *still* haven't finished mine... Where did you get the squeaky part of the horn?? It looks absolutely perfect! I'm hoping mine will turn out looking so great! :)
 
The only single comment I have, and I don't even think it's that relevant, is that I think the bell and horn stay perpendicular. If you watch it in the movie, the horn actually spins around the center, so it looks like it's pointing up. But I actually think your way looks really cool, much more dynamic. So don't change it on account of that ;)

It was a bike horn from Target. I wanted to take the "squeeker" out the horn and put it in the prop, but the diameter at the skinny end is so small, I was worried that I'd end up breaking something :wacko.
