Thanks

It was my aim to make a devon style interior as i really loved the last on i did in LHD for my previous 65 11 window bus back in 2001/2. I has been very practicle so far i just think i am now going to make a table to mount off the side to finish the trim. TV for my rug rat helps calm him down ready for bed.

Paul
LOL I was trying to work out the shape of the tank and how it fitted in the tool box and how it rotated to its position...
Must have taken quite some CAD (Cardboard aided design) to achieve that!
Neat Install...capacity?
Got it now..
Hope you are well!

The tank is over 5litres will do the calcs soon . The side with the filler neck is angled at the bottom to allow it to be angleded in and then rotated . I can dig out dims if needed . Had it running for over an hour and it only need a few seconds to warm up the van . Later I am cutting down into the main ducting of the bus . Will do some more pics layer as soon as I can get the bus out .
