You can see why I need to file the connector on the upright hose compared to the pigtail hose
Removing the cuff all I would need to do is attach the connector aside from grinding down the connector |

I've used quite a few reducers. They have white PVC. You can order online and pick up. They run $1.50.

That still leaves the existing issue that the electrical connector is too large to fit into the plug on a G or similar machine. Im going to try and get mine to the bench grinder and gently work away at the rubber to see if i can make it small enough to fit into the connector and still hold tight enough not to pop out.

Keep in mind both the plug and outlet are rubber so they will give a little so don’t overdo it when downsizing the rubber on the pigtail plug connector. |

I have another upright hose, identical bit on better shape than this one. That was why I decided to cannibalize it for the experiment. I wish I took pictures of the process, I had to remove the metal ring and slide the while cuff end apart.
Yes, you're talking to a farm boy here so luckily I've had my share of experience rigging things together...this has just been back burnered several times. Now that I have the proper hose for reference I can try and get this one done. I'll need to find a suitable epoxy for the hose connecotr |
