Door mounted reels
« on: September 10, 2011, 01:28:11 pm »
I think it was JSM who fitted some to his doors, how did you get on?

Anyone else done it? Ive seen the screwfix one, also theres a hozelock plastic one. Im getting a new tank soon and wont have much room left for reels with my seats up in the combo.

I have three of these reels in my van, 1 on the side and 2 in the back as in the picture. Quick & easy every time.  :)

The 2 back reels hold 100 metres of 6mm & the side one has 60 metres of 6mm

There are plywood panels on the rear doors & the hozelock brackets are screwed securely on to them. Never had any problems whatsoever and I can still shut the doors.  :)

How much did you pay for your reels, there like £40 each on net. Did you pay that much?

Thanks dave, i dont think that bottom one holds as much hose, i may be wrong  :)

I used to have one and this is what 100m looked like on it (very early setup lol)

I have to take a leak at least once a day mate, no probs! That's an old photo and it's a lot less cluttered now, I only take the guttervac with me when I have a job booked in.
Out of interest how do you get my picture to show up like that, Is it by using photobucket?  ???
