Grover's bits pics...

Looks good - are those rear seats factory???

There will be a good 2nd hand market for them in a few years...

They are a very good idea.
I've got a double acting cable operated job sitting on the bench for my Series 3 right now.

I was toying with building an hydraulic version, using big bike units, then I found the cable job. Good enough for the S3.

Nice job Scallops. I have just about finished the mods to Gandalfs storage......when I return from the Rock I will have to take some pics to show what can be done with timber construction.;)

Very nice

Id be as pleased as punch if it where mine congratulations :)

What did they slug you for the snorkel,WA country dealer wants $1326.00 fitted, $966.00 supplied loose.

That sounds well expensive!

You can get new TD5 genuine AirFlow snorkels (made in Aust) from ebay for $325+ $10 postage:

I may get the OL tank as a backup though - I am getting the aux fuel tank that fits in the other side and gravity feeds the main tank.

if you guys are after a cheap 12v pump.......those shower kits you can get at places like k-mart and such
for around the $20 mark should do the trick.....

they have a submersible pump and a hose with a handheld showerhead.....
you just use the bits you need.....and discard the bits you dont.....
the price is right.....

if you only need small amounts of water.....you can simply use one of the little motors from a windscreen washer......
and hook that up to a simple push switch.......
(for those that have kids who forget to turn things off....)

just so you dont need to rely on gravity.......

just an idea.....
