[QUOTE="bundyjd, post: 175881, member: 3809"] All good now thanks mate. I picked up a couple of 40-43mm T-bolt clamps on the way home. Slit the hose up each side about 25mm and soaked it in some hot water. Cut the first oversize barb off each fitting and smeared a very light coating of Belray waterproof grease on. Ended up just using one pair of flat nosed pliars and worked my way around slowly pulling down one bit at a time. Oh, and I remembered to put the clamps on first :) Tightened it all up and hopefully no leaks, but I won't know for sure until it gets a test run. Looks like it will hold..... Thanks a lot for all the tips fellas, hopefully they will also come in handy for the next poor bugger that has a go at it and ends up in here. Cheers, John [/QUOTE]
