if its not going to be trailing on the ground all you need to do is push the microbore inside the half inch hose and tightne on to it with a jubilee clip.

Hi Matt

That one is 6 mm ID.  I  can get hold of a combination of three nylon fittings that would give you an 1/8 inch (3 mm ID) barb to a 1/2 inch barb.  I would need to order one of the parts in for you.

Hi NWH

You know what it's like!  It's one thing getting the concept agreed on, it's another thing getting the finalized tooling done and a production run scheduled.  It is progressing though and we think we will be very happy with the finished article.  Just don't hold your breath  :)

Yes they did do a softer batch.  I'm still not sure which I prefer to use.
