Title: Diy Backpack
Post by: realclean on December 09, 2009, 03:58:46 pm: would it be possible to make up your on backpack using a battery powered sprayer like the one in the link, what extra fittings would be needed?

yes and its basically the same as the wcw one which I have, the postage seems a bit steep though at £23 and you'd need to buy a hoselock tap or microbore tap for it and so even with wcw's vat slapped on buying the hudson at the opening bid price is realistically only gonna save you about £20 or so, atleast with wcw your buying from a known supplier and have piece of mind, good backpacks, use mine more than i thought I would ;)

Do yoju have to taillor the surflow back packs ?
