What do you chaps all do to connect your 8mm microbore hose to your hozelock hose reel and where do you get the connectors from? Thanks in advance. Matt

it would have taken you straight to the right page and it was the fourth item down entitled 'Minibore Fitting Kit for Plastic Hose Reel'

First thing is to take a measurement of the outside diameter of the hoses that you have. If the OD is 13mm then you have Minibore (8mm) if it is 11mm then it is Microbore (6mm). If you are having difficulties getting the outside diameter, put an adjustable spanner to the size of the hose and then measure the gap in the spanner (unless you have a vernier).

Once you have worked this out you will know which fittings to buy on the above link. The only other thing is what type of hose reel you have? Metal or Hozelock? There are two different type of fitting kits depending on which you are using.
