Better send a cheque to us, as well, David,

Make it out to Greynomad for $00.00. ;) :lol:

(On the other hand you could make it out to RFDS, for as much as you like! :P )

We've used the same racks in Girt. They are intended to go on the inside of cupboard doors.
Ours sits behind the stovetop lid hinge (otherwise wasted space), and holds the sauce & spice bottles, plus olive oil, salt & pepper.

I could give you a pic... but it's a long drive. :roll:

Don't worry Ray, you will surprised how quick the time goes by. I will make the necessary adjustments when I next see an RFDS donation tin. Probably in a couple of weeks when we head west for a week or so.

I hadn't thought about those, I'll have a look around he wreckers etc, but going back that far might put them into collector status :roll:
I got them here, bought 3 of them, look good, but still haven't fitted them.

Thank you Bernie, that looks ideal and they sell adaptor rings as well. There are a few interesting vent arrangements there so I can mix and match as required.

Took me a while to find them too.
I first found one on Gumtree that was to suit a KW prime mover, was still in the box, but I stumbled onto this site when I was looking for a new heater/demister box for the bus.
The original one had been disconnected years ago, but I thought it might be possible to restore till I removed it and found this...

So ended up finding this new unit on Ebay - 24v which i needed.
Image

And fitted it under the dash when I was remodelling the front of the bus.

3 of the outlets go to the original demister and heater and the 4th will go in the front of the dash on the pass side to keep the better half a bit warmer.

Don't know if anyone is interested, but I have done most of the history on our old bus on Facebook.

To get to the beginning will take a lot of scrolling down, but it covers all the rust repairs, re-skinning and painting, lots of mechanical work, some upgrades and modifications we have done.
