Well if it doesn't make noise with the can empty it won't with it full mine makes all kinds of noise with the can empty but once its full all is quiet well I guess as quiet as it can get in a chop top.

That looks awesome. Where can I find one? I even like the "terrorist" markings, lol. Oh, btw, what is AUS? Their web addy? Pardon the ignorance, new to this forum. But, I was referred by Fasteddie, if that'll get me any clout. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Fasteddy's advice is occasionally sound...

Oh, btw, what is AUS? Their web addy? AUS is kind of an interesting place, I would need to do a google search to see if there is a specific web addy. Oh AUS is the identifier for Australia, it is a country found on the other side of the world. Hey Sparky nice find on the can mount.

I like it alot. Are there any other comparable products that are easier to purchase? If not... I would be interested in fabricating one.. if anyone knows dimensions, drawings, etc... or where to get them. This was my really cool thing coming form AUS. I got it used from AUS. It tooks months to get here by boat, but it is here. It was a pain to install because of the lack of space to get to the back of the bolts. I still have to finish putting everything back together. And I still need a couple metric nuts, but it works. It is not 100% level, but can be fixed by loosening up the bolts, but that will have to wait for another day. Until proven otherwise, I am claiming that it is the only one installed in the US. Someone has one within 100 miles of me, but not installed. Here it is.

But, I was referred by Fasteddie, if that'll get me any clout. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Are you asking where you can find the can or holder or both? Like Landraider said, that is Hebrew. If Fasteddy sent you, I guess I can help. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Like said above, it is a factory Mitsu mount. I have no idea how many were made (not that many), or where they were sent (not to the USA), or exactly what year and model they came on. It is even hard to find a pic of one, unless you know where to look. After I saw Mark's I wanted one. It looked on and off for a couple years on the net for one. I got it from a junk yard in AUS. I paid almost as much shipping as I paid for the unit. And it took a few months to get here. There are some cheaper options. I know Llyod and Cmonty72 made their own out of a cheap blitz jerry can holder that just bolts on to the door. I wanted it because it is factory and super rare. As for the jerry cans, I tried to get a few more of the Israeli, but they sold out shortly after I ordered my first ones.
I just want to tell you both good luck, and we're all counting on you.

Sparkem, if you would take some close up photos of that thing I will email them to a few people I know overseas and ask if they can locate some of them for us. Also, is there a part number on them?
Are you still working in Toccoa? I know of a house near Tallulah Falls that will go up for sale soon, will try to get you more info on it if you wish.

I still work in Toccoa, but I dont plan on moving to GA. I am currently looking for something else here in SC. I am going to stay around Anderson.
C72, I guess that came out wrong, cheap as in only $15-20. My holder was a bit more than that.
I will look and see if there is a part number anywhere on there. I will get some pics tomorrow.I will see if I have the email to that place I bought mine from. From what they told me, they dont get those very often.
I emailed Misterbishi in AUS to see about ordering one from Mitsu, he said for all the parts plus shipping would be more than $600USD. F that <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" />.
