[Tigers] LAT 21 - air horns

[Allan Ballard]

Thanks Ron.

Based on your info, it looks like the LAT 21 horns were electric, as you
pointed out.

Maybe they produced a different note or perhaps they were louder than the
stock Clear Hooters.

At any rate I'll return to Clear Hooters
or consider keeping the non-stock Fiamms.
