Hmm, I think it will have to be fixed properly in place, and not with some penny washers. Seems quite top heavy, and if you'd ever need to brake hard or have an accident it will be more prone to breaking loose.

Coxreel, Reelcraft and Redashe better pack their bags!!! :(  ;D

On a serious note, my Redashe 460 reel is engineered much better then that.

hasent it been proven that upright tanks are safer in a crash than lay flat? so i dont think top heavy is necessarily an issue

I manage to make mine last about 8 months, then they give up - I'm talking about metal hose reels like this one:

I might get a stainless one from ionic next, more expensive but apparently lifetime guatantee?

Oooohhh new shiny things :D :D
must have,must have
Looks the part tho-my vans are now double crewed and this looks like a good solution to the nightmare of loose reels(in/out the van-who winds in first etc..)
