Thanks Derek ... I'll take that option as an extreme fall back position!
Andy, I'll have another search then. Thanks! ... and thanks for the tip ... move the PS reservior to make a little more room.
Any others with a voice on this ... wanna hear as many options as possible please!
Kev..
Have seen a pic of one installed where the unit was mounted onto a heatshield made for the second battery.
These units are made from glass reinforced nylon. It's the same plastic your radiator is made from so heat is not an issue for it unless it comes in contact directly with a hot exhaust.
They also don't HAVE to be mounted straight. They will happily take an angle up to 45deg.
Cheers
Andrew
Thanks Andy ... thanks Andrew !
Andy, I found the D2a install you mentioned (must be going blind!) ... it was Baz/Redback. Same position I'm considering. It's a squeeze, but looks do-able with some pre planning.
Andrew, that's a position I didn't consider. Will take another under the hood tomorrow night. Thanks for the heads up on the material.I know the stuff as Noryl ... we have pumps that use similar material for casings.
... thanks guys, I feel alot more confident now that I can get it to fit.

The "difficult" thing is, you MUST mount it so that oil will drain (downhill) to whereever you are draining to. If you decide to join into the turbo drain pipe, be very careful about where you apply heat, so as not to damage the rubber in the hose.

I couldnt get it any higher, and the return line is just "down hill".
I have it on my list of things to do to make a custom turbo drain pipe so I can tee in the provent much lower. I've heard it can take about 5000km or so before oil actually starts to drain, so Ive got some time to do it.
Hamish, the pic's dont seem to be there any more.:(
Come on Hamish
... you know the :rulez:
It didn't happen without ...
:p

Andrew,
Will be away from computer until saturday night. So if something happens between now and then, I'm letting you know I'm still in.
Will check back then.
Thanks,
Tod.

Hi Andrew - count me in for one - I'll fit this one to the Unimog as the one on the Disco works great.
