Hi Richard... no, it was just an electrical smell from everything being new... & somewhere between £250-£300 :)
Shaun i try to always take my enforcer inside the buildings if possible... But yes, that idea im sure is possible too.
It can get manic as i have sooo much kit now... i just bought a Pro 35 too :)

I was thinking of either the 6.6 or 5.7
I remember seeing them with the brackets but cant remember where.

It ran 7.2 ? 
I would def be fitting the 6.6 at 109 from the carpetcleaning store ...  or the HD electro from John kelly or alltec.
Easy to say though ...  i think the extractas attached the hose direct to the motor so u would have to fit a tube of make a manifold . And u would need some spacers to mount them to the 7.2 mounts

Fook Me! £27 for one 2" plastic angle... :(

Actually.... maybe i could just get a 1 1/2" one... i would just need some attachment to screw into the 1 1/2" female & then the other side to be smooth 1 1/2"... so my 1 1/2" vac hose can slip over it :)

Also... what do you think about this? its a 90 degree with an end cap... i will need an end cap of some sort when im not using the box :)

Hi again John... I Just need a few bits more to be able to use this booster box, Instead of it just being an expensive carpet cleaning ornament...
I use 1 12" Vacuum Hose... So i need to know what sizes of things(Tank Connectors) i need & exactly what i need here to link the Vac hose to the enforcer... Thanks for that link by the way, but what size one should i buy?
It really is quite confusing... :(
Here is my dilemma... Obviously i need a 90 degree angle, but im not sure what size one... because i will need some part that will screw into it, that the vacuum hose will then be able to slide either "on" or "in"....
Then i would also need some kind of "End cap" that screws in to that thread when im not using the booster box (or what do you recommend i use for this?)
Then, The "Other side" of this 90 degree angle (where it Joins with the enforcer body) i will also need something threaded to go through the enforcer body & some kind of large plastic nuts to hold it in place? am i right?
This part of the project Sucks tbh... :(
Cheers Jim

You only need  four things . A tank connector ...or bulkhead connector  . A 90 bend ....and a male connector going into the 90 bend to attach your hose . I remove the 90 bend when I'm not using it and just screw cap the tank connector on the enforcer .  I stuck with 1.5 . It tends to be a bit larger that the internal of a 1.5 connector on a machine really .
Il have a look later .

Yes... cheers... its all coming a little clearer now :)
Just stick to 1.5" bits... its certainly a Lot cheaper than 2" bits & they are more easily obtainable... :)
i think im still struggling to get an end cap though... but i understand it better now... thanks
i think this may be good for joining the vac tube to the angle "&" the angle to the enforcer too? it looks long enough... what do you think? :)

& this is seemingly the only threaded end cap i can find atm...  whay do you think of this? :)

It matters with anything u attach to it , ie it have to be the same bsp thread , like the endcap
