Twine shower on a petrol 80 series

Is ther room on the passanger side by the starting battery? Than is where I mounted it for my Diesel 100 series. IT is mounted on a bracket which is bolted to the whel arch. I am sure there is a lot of 80's out there with showers. rom memory I am sure they are mounted in a similiar position.

May or may not help, but I share your problem.

I have a Ti 4.5 Patrol and I'm trying to fit a shower on it.

I know a guy that fitted one to an 80 Series behind the bullbar, works well and easy to get at.

I'm going to build a bracket for mine that will suspend it above the ABS lines and hoses at the back of the motor, near the fire wall. Any room back there.

Yeah I don't have a cruiser either but due to a lack of room under the bonnet I put mine up under the bull bar also.

I know this dosnt answer your question , but its something I saw and was intreeaged by . I noticed a vehicle come into work with a copper tube wound around the exaust . I asked the gent what it was for , guess what his home made shower , one end he connected his hose that went on to a boat builge pump and theother he connects his shower head , the builge pump has a bleep ch that connect to the battery , he sits the builge pump into a bucket of cold water and turns on the switch , this pumps water through the copper pipe that is warm due to the hot exaust system , from cold he said he only need the vehicle to run for 5 min to get the tempreture right .

sorry about the woffle but it freaked me out Venus Bay

Penguin,
I also had the same problem with my Patrol, lack of space. I ended up placing the pump where the shower heat exchanger would have gone. I then fitted the exchanger across the top of the exhaust manifold. The heat from the manifold does not damage the exchange unit, and in fact helps heat it up. Works great. Theres not many things you can fit in close proximity to the exhaust manifold because of the heat, so you should have plenty of space in this area for the exchange unit.

Hope this helps
Frank.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I toyed with the idea of moving the charcoal canister but there isn't much room to mount it elsewhere. In the end, I have mounted it behind the bullbar and will just run long hoses to the heat exchanger.

Looking forward to getting out there and getting dirty to try it out.
