For one...
You need the metal ring that goes in the bellows, along with rubber cement. The ring should be in the bellows on the edge. If its missing you can probably make a new one. Just shove the bellows end in the adapter and line it up with the little wall in the bellows. Put rubber cement on the edges and put in the bellow ring.

Okay, if there is no metal ring, then I'm assuming I will just need to clean those two surfaces, apply rubber cement, mate them together and I'll be good to go? If so, thanks a bunch! | ||

I was thinking of the 60 series type bags...
Sorry I was thinking of those 60-series hoovers like the 61, 63 etc. There is no ring. But there is a rubber cement type stuff on those to seal it in all my hoovers. its always yellow like a rubber band color, and peals off quite easily. half the times theres barely a trace of it. It seems like the closest thing is rubber cement. Either way, rubber cement will help maintain a better seal. For some reason my model 61s outer bag always wants to blow off because the ring is abscent and there is a poor seal between the bellows and flange. I suggest rubber cement. it fixed that problem.
