MSA Water Bra
$164.00
The day will come when you won't have a choice and the water is quite driveable!
The safest way to do this is with a Water Bra and while it is essential that a snorkel is installed to allow the engine to breathe above water line, this does not prevent water being forced through the vehicle's grill at pressure. This results in the water being ''grabbed'' by the spinning engine fan and the fan then being pulled through the radiator.
End result? No more radiator, you are stranded and wet!
The MSA 4x4 Water Bra is a 10 second ''Quick-fit'' design, with 1 person either side, the bra is placed at the front of the vehicle, opened, and then 50mm side straps with 6mm shock cord are wrapped around the rear view mirror mounts, clipped and tensioned. DONE! No vehicle damaging ocky straps or tarps needed. No eyes lost! The Bra is made from 420 Denier, PVC backed nylon for maximum strength. Lighter fabrics just will not survive the water pressure, do you want to chance it! No thanks!
The straps and buckles are 50mm for the same reason: strength! As an added feature, the bra has a strap pouch on the front so a strap can be hooked up and stored before crossings - ''just in case''.
Does your vehicle have a protection bar, winch, driving lights, antennas, etc? No problem! The bra conforms to any vehicle shape and size. Any gaps between the top of the bra and the bonnet are not a problem as the water just drops down and is not forced horizontally through the grill.
After another successful water crossing, the drainage gills at the bottom allow the water to drain away. Pack the bra up into its own storage bag and machine wash it or just hose it off later!
Too east, safe and convenient! Why chance it with anything else?
Know before you buy
Before you buy drawers or a fridge slide
Drawers and fridge slides turn a tub or cargo area into organised, reachable storage. Measure first, then match the slide to your fridge.
- Measure the space
Drawer systems are made for specific vehicles and tub or cargo sizes. Check the listing's fitment and dimensions against your vehicle.
- Match slide and fridge
Choose a slide rated for your fridge's loaded weight and with a tray big enough for its footprint. Drop slides lower the fridge so you can reach into it.
- Strap it down
Secure the fridge to the slide with proper tie-downs; MSA recommends cam straps.
- Seats in a wagon
Removing seats for drawers needs no VASS certificate unless it changes the vehicle's category, but VicRoads must be told when an adult seat is permanently removed (VSI 19).
Common questions
Do I need to tell VicRoads if I take seats out for drawers?
Yes, if an adult seat is removed permanently. You don't need a VASS certificate unless the change alters the vehicle's category, and taking a seat out temporarily is fine if the seatbelts stay and airbags aren't affected (VSI 19).
Drop slide or straight slide?
A straight slide pulls the fridge out at the same height. A drop slide also lowers it, which makes a tall fridge easier to reach into from a high tub or cargo floor.
What load can a fridge slide take?
Each slide has its own rating; check the product's specifications against your fridge's full weight.
