as a quick bodge to get you going, slip a piece of garden hose over the end of the micobore and gubilee clip it in place then put a hozelock on the end. then you can work untill the correct fitting is delivered, not sure on the correct fitting as i use 8mm hose

you need a hose tail.

call gardiners in the morning or purefreedom both will help you.

I would cut the male off the pole hose and put a female rectus 21 fitting on pole, then hosetail, tap, male rectus fitting on hose reel, this way you control the water without pole being on it  ;) freedom is the answer  ;D

if not Alex gardiner can tell you about the other way.
