as a long time clutch-drive user i really like what sapphire has done with this one and I have to suspect this will be my next tm as long as there is a van made to put it in

Looks great........not getting the warm and fuzzies with that huge bracket covering the alternator......is it still going to be able to breath and let the heat out...??
how hard did it make it to change the alternator if it goes out.........??........are you going to have to pull the entire clutch assembly off and realign it just to change it....

Hard to tell from the pictures....................

Can you dual wand w/ that setup w/ say 2 #06 flow wands and what kind of heat would both wands keep if you were able to dual w/ them?

John, when the waste tank is under the machine do they add an extra pulley to keep the drive shaft coming in lower or is the drive shaft raised up to come into the same pulley as usual?

John,
I Luv U Man : )

Can the 1200 by itself be purchased ?

Super Serious, Can the Front and Rear DS mounts be purchases separately : )

Most important, How Many Jelly Beans do you get with a TM purchase/install?

No finger pointing fellas!

Ill post the picture (thought I did) of the pulleys. This out first so don't know if anything is different but I'm pretty sure the drive shaft goes where to goes on all the configurations

That sub-mount tank needs to be closer to the machine. As it is, the hoses are going to be coming across that door jamb when coming off the left side of the hose reels.

That is why I want to BE THERE when somebody is installing my stuff.

It's fine pigpoop. As you pull them off the reel you direct left and right by where you stand. The only way I'd have put them closer would be if I double nutted them from the bottom up. It would make for faster removal but who knows what is in the way beneath the van? You have to work around the heat shields, drive train components and structural framing to install as easy as the obstructions will allow you.
