Decided to go for it and went with Darrens suggestion , the 3000w Hyundai from Ebay £330 . it arrived in 3 days .
Got 15m of the the yellow 51mm hose with the metal side inlet
and 30ft 51mm clamped carbon poles from GVS £970
Let me know how you get on, what the power like? Bet it’s plenty…
Can you link the hose and side inlet please…
Also, can you let me know if you blanked the original inlet, or have you used it for the side entry?
