I've never seen them.

Time to replace the hose reel me thinks.

I've welded a new base onto mine but its also due for replacement. Its nearly 10 years old.

i was actually thinking of taking the part to a metal worker as ive 3 reels altogether and even the newest one 6 months old is showing signs of rottage  , to be fair i think overall these reels are not that bad but it seems very thin, you can get every spare easy but not this part.

I have three in my wheelie bin as we speak.  The rest of the reel fell to bits.

If you want them, email me.  Do it by Monday or they'll be taken away.

One company that supplies them is called
G AND S Services there based in Penrith

I think they'll deal with people direct I believe they carry a lot of spares

I'm sure I've seen those legs for sale on a website recently because I've been looking at new reels, but I can't remember where - sorry.

I'm Googling now trying to find it.

cut some new legs from  an old broom handle. lasts  at least until your new part arrives.
looks a bit rough I know but works. I had diy wooden legs for months was too busy to order etc.
