JD,
The poly connectors were my own decision, not part of the kit. From memory, the kit was designed to have you screw the hoses on/off each time you wanted to use the shower. I found that didn't work
well as although the threads are slightly tapered, i was unable to get them tight enough to seal properly.
I have bolted a simply right angle brackets to the main bullbar section, just below and inside the headlights (just on the outer side of the steel uprights). These brackets have a 1/2" hole drilled through them (I actually used a short piece od Dexian steel angle for each bracket). I passed the poly fitting through the hole in the bracket, added the retainer loop for the red protective cover and then push-fitted the hose up hard against the back of the bracket and screw-clamped it in place.
The primer bulb is a small rubber bulb that fits in the palm of your hand....they use them on outboard motors to pump a bit of fuel from the fuel
tank to the motor etc. I place this in the
water and give it a few squeezes if the pump doesn't seem to want to self-prime for any reason.
Where do I sit....that's why I've got a large roof rack and looooooong legs...hahaha
Cheers mate
