402 Hose... Hi You have virtually zero chance of finding one sadly- the 402 was the only cleaner we had of that design and was only made for a couple of years.. Where in Kent are you? always good to know of other localish collectors :) Seamus | ||

Replacement hose
If you are not concerned with the type of hose, you could do a great deal worse than look on ebay for a standard Hoover stretch hose, it will have the advantage of being considerably lighter and longer than the original hose. Just bide your time for a set of tools (these will usually be for junior models) at modest cost - they do turn up. Actually thinking about it, it does even need to be a white hose, I often see tool sets for the series 1 turbo power (I think they are designated U1912) quite cheaply. Or, if you are so motivated, keep your eye out for a hose at car boot sales, you may even find a 119/612 hose there - the main thing is that the buyer should not be aware of the "antique" or "rarity" value of the hose (they are neither). Either of these will be cheaper than going to a vacuum shop.
Good luck with your search. By the way, have you ever needed to repair the flex where it comes out of the cleaner? This is a weak spot and an area of excessive wear. Its an easy fix if that should be a looming issue too Al | ||

I can send you a turbopower hose if you cover postage (£5). Got a few! Or see if the american guys can get you either an end or spare hose and post it over. | ||
