twine shower

I installed a Helton the other weekend to my rodeo ran it in parallel off the heater hoses. Also installed my own self priming pump.
Spent a few days prior seeing where I going to place Exchanger, pump and hoses then ran around and got some bolts, coolant, Fuse, wire and some clip-on air hose fittings just to make it easier to change hoses,
The instructions on my pump didn't mention anything about the angle, its fitted upside down and works fine.
All up took 6 beers= 4-4.5hrs.
It's not hard and I wouldn't pay $400. At the most $200.

Go for it.

Hi Stan ...
Put one into my 80 Series Landcruiser about 3 months ago and it was pretty easy. Your kit should have come with a pretty comprehensive set of instructions. If not, check out the website on this link , where there is an email address and the fitting instructions.

It is a pretty easy job to fit it, even for a technical gelding such as myself, and $400 seems pretty excessive for a simple job like this. Effectively all you are doing is adding a heater to your heater line in the vehicle, and installing a pump.

There was a special mounting bracket for my 80 series, but I don't know if there is a similar one for your model. Maybe the website will assist.

ok guys thanks for your coments will give it a go cheers stan.

I fitted my Twine to my Frontera in about 4 hours plus a trip to a hydraulics shop for more fittings. The heater hose was 5/8 inch hose and the Twine had 1/2 inch so I needed a reducer. (Excuse imperial measurements). I also changed the fixing bolt nuts to Nylocs as they were not easy to get to after the job was done. Those people who think $400 is a lot for 4 -5 hours work and $200 is closer should run there own business. Would they work for $50,000 a year which would have to include the cost of premises, staff and all the other ancillary costs in running a business? I doubt it.
