Sand_storm Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Looking good! Where did you find the cistern? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oo-tee-dee! Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 It was Destiny Steve's toilet decided to break (perfect timing) and flood everywhere, so an emergency plumber was called over 2 nights and at a total cost of £400, repairs were done, and the old cistern was saved for my pack.....so it's officially THE most expensive TD backpack ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutSi Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 That is good timing!! Are you sure you didn't break it on purpose so you can nab the cistern bit??? LOL Build looks good so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD-1536 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 very, very cool!! I think you're the first person to use an actual cistern (or part of one) on their pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oo-tee-dee! Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 No way, someone here must have done it before? But if not, then COOL!! Here is a pic of it fully trimmed and glued - just needs a bit of milliput now then it's spray time..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oo-tee-dee! Posted June 10, 2007 Author Share Posted June 10, 2007 More pics - but my digicam has gone a bit goofy so there are white pixels all over the shots To fasten the bellows to the base box we put a large tie-wrap round the bellows.... ...........then threaded a narrower tie wrap through the fat tie wrap and through holes in the base box Two screws were put through the round part of the toilet cistern and through into the box. Solid as a rock now! Exhaust port detail - screws yet to be painted black Need to fasten base boxes together then mount on frame, et voila!
