I got a mini bore hose with ez snap connectors on and went o a job today with mate who uses normal hose with hozelock connectors, we both had our vans with us but the problem was I couldnt us my poles with his system and vice versa so was looking into making 2 adapters so this doesnt happen again, like the gardners one. (pics below) i have all the parts as had bought seperate from gardners but theres a bit on each pic that im unsure what it is so help please, if not ill purchase from gardners monday.

The white bit on the first photo is a 3/4" screw to 6mm nylon fitting. We only sell them as part of the complete connector:

I broke my hose, so i'm going to have to order some soon. Did you abandon the idea of thermobore?

An alternative to pic A, I dunno about minibore but my microbore fits perfectly inside a standard hose, a bit of araldite & a jubilee clip & job done. The araldite is probably overkill though.

James Smith,
Brilliant. we always overlook the obvious. I'll have a try with mini.

[Clive McDonald]

Tried it with minibore and it works. That's whats good about this forum, because this would never have occured to me. (and me with all my brains)

While i was out there a clamp needed aralditing, and also implemenmted a suggestion from wayne (I think, but don't worry i'll say it was my idea next time I mention it) to stop poles spinning- to hammerite paint the last six inches before the clamps.
I used gold and did the spikes on my gates at the same time.
