This is my second go at posting this, must have done something wrong. I havn't been on the forum for ages and i am a donut.
Anyhow I am trying to see if there are any Bane  Clene  machine owners on this site and where they get spares as Bane have no dealership in Europe now. I have tried tere phone lines in Crawley and are all dead.
Any help cheers,   Martin.

What part do you need?

I use a bane for quite a few years  so know a it about them. Along as  its not the pump innered (rubber sock) which are pretty unique

[Martin_Bignell]

No Mike, I don't anything at the moment but  just thinking ahead to see if any other users  have found another supplier.  I don't want to start using just a porti again but i don't want to upgrade to a  full truckmount at my time of life so i want to nurse the bane along for a bit longer. i remember when you had your bane and you stuck extra vacs on and all sorts.
Ta for your reply,   Martin.

Hi Martin
Ive got a few spares lying around in the garage somewhere if you need anything.

We still use Bane machine's Martin. You can source parts direct from Bane but unless your an experienced import / exporter delivery can be a bit of a pain. Denise is my contact there and she is more than happy to put you in touch with other UK based users.

I would like to start using my bane , has anyone converted the fitting to make them take standard water hose fittings ?

[Mike Halliday]

Jason I changed all the solution line fittings and the one on the machine to female QCs to fit the wands & hand tools I already used with my  other machines it's just a straight swop.

I don.'t know why Bane use the fittings they do, as they are open ended so if you start the machine and the tool  is not connected you squirt water all over the place ........ (Maybe they have changed though in the last 10 yrs since  I had mine)

[jasonl]

Thanks so the threads are a straight swap then ?

[Mike Halliday]

If I remember correctly it was a straight swop

[jasonl]

Cheers I will dig it out of my store .

[David McNay]

We've converted all ours to 3/4" QC's

[terry barnes]

we did convert all our to ss 1/4" hanson   except the ones from the tanks. they lasted for over fifteen years   without changing them - using the machine 6hours aday 6 days a week

Mike, there wasn`t much you didn`t change on your Bane. I still remember the hot box you attached to it. Couldn`t see you for steam!!

[Mike Halliday]

Great wasn't it!!

Still got it and was using it unto the beginning of this year
