jerry can storage
Can anyone tell me where i can get hold of the jerry can storage as seen in www.southing.com. Its for a Landrover 110 hardtop and two cans are stored behind the front doors and under the wheel box, thus providing a total of 4 cans very low down.
I have been told Mantec make them and i am waiting for a reply from them. Does anyone else?

Hi - I got mine through Foleys - I believe they were made by a company called Rhino. They weren't cheap, but have been well worth it to use that otherwise dead space and get the spare fuel out of the way.

I used the Foley's jerry can holders and got Foley to install them after I struggled to understand how they got fitted. Not easily is the answer! Cost me about £160 to have them fitted and it took about a morning.
Take a look : http://www.overland-network.com/bigs...de_lockers.htm
The side lockers are not big enough to fit two water jerry cans (usual black plastic type) but are a perfect fit for Jerry cans.
