Don't ya recon this is a bit too hot....

I make them out of 3" s/s tube with 3 coils of copper. With the heater on full the water is f#*kn hot. Have to slide it to under 1/2. Will make 1 if someone wants one around $150. Bolted inside bullbar where winch would go is a good spot.

Good job Jimbo..........looks identical to mine except I used tap sized threads and snap on connections for the fresh water in and out.

Inside mine is about 4 metres of 3/8 copper tube.

Work a treat and really makes a trip much nicer being able to get that sweat off at night.

I'm pretty sure your skin comes off at 80 degrees.
Blisters at 70.
60 is super hot to touch.
50 is hot
80???? Too hot for showers too cold for cuppa's.. what do you want with 80?

Mine cost me nothing thanx to work
