And last night and all day today i got round to re-installing the build [:D] i'm very happy with it, had some help with friends and family, but i'm happy again [:D]



First were the bulkhead unions:

Then creating the false floor support:

Then deciding on the tank location:

Then i created the False floor, so the tank would be semi hidden:

After i had a rough idea of things, i wanted it to go here:

So i put down some soundproofing, need to buy more [:)]:

Then put it all in, wired up, cable tied neatly out of the way:

when i order some carpet i will carpet all this area too, plus helps with sound deadening [:)]

Now need to order the carpet so i can finish the install, and some foam, so it sits nicer and fills gaps [:D]

I even used the original handle, OEM touch [;)]
