Their not immediatly noticeable at all! Did you have to take it to the merchant to measure up the fittings?

Lol at the plumbing parts on the missing hose though...

Nothing we could find was the right diameter, or wouldn't bend right, or looked really naff, or wouldn't hold paint, etc. I ransacked the shop and the garage at home and went in with a big bag of maybes. That was the only thing that just slotted in like it was made for the job, had the right curve, etc.

If I hadn't have told you, I bet you wouldn't have spotted it.  ;D

Omg just noticed the plumbing parts! As Sam said :)) That actually looks original! I am amazed ;D :thumbsup:

It a good paint match isn't it? The paint place matched it perfectly. Funnily enough, I went in with a part, the bloke at Gorton Payless looked at it, and said "Hmm, Palermo Pink I reckon". And he was right. They know their eggs those blokes.

This one. I found him a customer for it. I can't disclose what it went for, but it was a few quid.

I reserve judgement on the plumbing, Think push fit would have looked better  :underchair:

As an update to this, thanks to a chap on Facebook who has one of these, we have managed to identify a replacement brushroll for Cyclon Rotorks.

It would seem Mr Dyson at that time used a brush roll from a Vorwerk ET20 or ET30.  8)

Excellent! You bought some then? Would be interesting to see how much it improves the performance, you should throw down a load of muck and film the results...
