I think that was an original Electrolux part, but I'm not 100% on that.
Here's a link to a post from a great blog showing a Discovery with this little adapter on it. eluxurious.blogspot.com/2013/06/t... |

My Discovery Plus has the onboard tool holders. I think that's what the 'Plus' is for in the name. There's a separate one on the front for the upholstery/dusting brush and crevice tool in addition the hose and wand bracket on the back. While the brackets are very convenient for storing the tools when not in use, the whole thing becomes terribly ungainly when trying to use it fully loaded. At the very least, I have to remove the hose but sometimes I've taken the wands off as well. The two tools on the front are fine as they don't have enough combined mass to unbalance the machine.

One other little oddity about the crevice/combo tool holder, at least as it's mounted on my Discovery Plus, is there is not sufficient clearance between the holder and the top of the tank for a standard Electrolux crevice tool to fit. The one I have for my 1205 is about an inch too long. Elextrolux made a short version, about five inches long, to fit this application. I first fitted a generic crevice tool that was about nine inches long onto the holder but the bottom end partially obstructed access to the hose port.
