I'm looking at maybe getting a water tank from Oz for my 120 (custom fit under the rear bumper) and wanted to know if anyone else e.g. Crispin or 'vette, were interested?

See here: Water Tank

I'll contact them with details - my spare wheel is under-body mounted - 'vette. IIRC yours is on the back door - Crispin, is yours under-body mounted too?

Anyone else interested?

Oh that is tidy. I have been looking at trying to fit a smallish tank to mine. But really running out of room. Was wondering about having a custom one made up in stailness that would fit in what space I have left. But that is a doozie.

By the way Gary, I got one of those Coleman lamps and the hard plastic carry case. Very good.

Did it come with the clip-on mantles, or the tie-on jobbies? Quite keen to get some of the clip-on ones - got to be easier than trying to tie a new one to the hot generator in the dark Wink

it is sealed? Will it hold pressure? What I am really asking is: Can I fill it with beer? Laughing

My spare is under the the back, not the door Sad

I am toying with finding a scrapped door and swapping.

How much are they? I might be interested.

bit of a random question: I guess, as it's from Aus, it's designed to fit with the larger (180L) fuel tank. So, adding this will not mess with my ideas of adding the larger tank.

There you go Laughing

I've found 3 scrap rear doors - one of which I'm going to buy (I think) - they're complete, which is what I want. Got them via a lead from you , actually, from your breakeryard.com link ... They're about £350 each + VAT + shipping. There was one on fleabay I was watching but he wanted £650 for it ... (mind you it was the right colour already Wink

)

I will try that actually. £350 (£402) I can swallow. £650 is a push.

Ja - those have been there for ages. Problem is that the spare mount and all teh internal supports cost a bomb from Toyota, so I decided to spend more and get a complete door, with glass, supports, wheel mount etc. Don't mind if I have to get it stripped and painted, but don't want to have to build one up.

Cheers

Gary, they're tie on. Not a prob really. Would have like the twin mantle, but this is fine. I have plenty of back ups! But now I fancy the stove too.

OK back to the original thread.

Is that a petrol or gas lamp you're talking about? My coleman gas lamp has clip on mantles.

For intrest - the Aussies say the water tank will not fit a 120 with the under-slung spare wheel. Crying or Very sad

Hi Guy's

Well that could be a double item in one shipment.
I have considered the long range fuel tank, like the standard one in South Africa, giving an additional 80 litres or some think like.
A 21 litre water tank stuck behind that is seriously going to give any rear springs a tough work out.
