Taller toilet paper?

Post by fnqcairns »

I have just recieved a bypass filter from the USA to fit to my diesel 4x4, it uses toilet paper, the Aussie TP standard seems to be 11cm tall although the bypass filter uses rolls around 12cm tall as in the US.

If anyone has been through this before, and found suppliers or brands in this country to suit? I would love to hear from you.
The filter is a motorguard.

cheers fnq

Thanks, probably possible and a good idea, if all else fails I will try something like that.

Ian they do sell one to suit a frantz filter 15cm by 15cm, so too big but certainly an option as I can cut it down in height and unwrap some of the width but at $10 each it goes a little against my original reason for fitting one. With luck there is some group of homsick americans with thier own supplyer :roll:. :lol:
I like the US idea of what size a bog roll should be anyway! BURP!

We use to use them at Ozie Post, we just use a roll of paper hand towels. Just cut off the end at the right length.
