Faulty Watermill power shower, need help with adapting pipework

[realitybites]

Hi, have a watermill osprey 2 powershower (not low voltage) that apparently isn't made anymore. Had a faulty one first time round but was able to replace the whole thing so no real plumbing involved. I am now faced with a problem, the pipework (hot and cold) enter from the top left hand side which I think is a little different to most other all in one showers. I want to fit a triton as a replacement but the pipework is in the wrong position. Could I use a combination of elbow joints plastic and compression joints to adapt it and would it be difficult.

And going by your posts you seem to have fitted a bathroom and other "plumber only" jobs, a bit hypocritical don't you think
On the shower side of things can anyone recommend a suitable replacement. Going by hiretools recommendationI was looking at this
Aqualisa Aquastream Thermostatic Power Shower Satin Chrome - Aqualisa available at Plumbworld
Might make things a bit easier due to the various entry points and the fact that I could leave the pipework exposed if push came to shove.
