Title: Reel bolted in van.. but can be released as and when.
Post by: geefree on August 27, 2008, 07:21:58 pm: I Have a new van, so i want thing doing better now, been thinking , some people have two reels.. one bolted one loose...

does anyone have theirs bolted down, but like on a quick release , so can be usedout of the van,?

am looking around to find a way to do it but i wondered if anyone does this and could point me in the right direction.

Thanks.

I use hoselock fittings like the ones on ionic systems,it clips into the hosereel as you will probobly know.If the hose from DI to hosereel is long enough you can unclip the static reel and re connect to the free standing one,get it.

Give me chance Jeff, I have it all in place, I have to pop up my mates tomorrow to get a piece of steel sheet cut, I'm not doing that with a hacksaw or you'll never see it Lol
I recon friday night, saturday at the latest and the cage and swivel will be finished, I've been doing it in-between work and family.
