I've used a caravan accessory shop before to get barbed hose reducers etc before if that's any help.

B and Q is worth a try,or if you got the 8mm put hose in boiling water and it will fit on.

Garden centres sometimes have them so does the village hardware store
Failing that half ores have plastic ones

just use the 8mm hose barb, dip the end of the hose in boiling water then it will go straight on

Fitting 6mm hose onto an 8mm hose is an old trick for WFP.

Provides a better seal and less chance of leaks.
