Hi All,

I caught up with Leon today for Christmas, and he had not 1, but 2 rare things to give me.

Up first is this hose. Who can tell me what it belongs to :)

Cheers

Nathan

So thankyou again Leon, I really appreciate the gifts.

Now thats what every appliance collectors xmas stocking should have!! I assume you have the Keymatic to fit them in Nathan?

Those hoses are rare and rare, the last one we repaired here was too far gone, so a creative exercise in sump building ensued, Is that an "AT" or "AU" programmer?

Well done Leon for hunting out those treasures!! Heres a diagram of the rather complicated hoses arrangement....

Leon has quite a story to tell about how this came into being.

But I walked into his garage and spotted it poking out of a box from the door.

My Keymatic has a modified sump cobble together job, that has a few technical issues. I'd recently bought a number of new parts to re-engineer it, but luckily as this has turned up, I now wont have to.

The only other hose I'm trying to find a successful replacement for, is the pipe that goes from the mixing chamber down to the sump hose. Mine has tiny holes in it and it weeps. I've tried a few radiator hose replacements, but finding something with a 90deg bend that is the right size is proving to be a challenge.

I also bought a new boot of Ebay in the UK last year, that'll be the final touch to take the delicate greeny blue boot off and fit one that doesn't look like it'll fall apart :)

If that's the second hose in from the right side of the picture and a radiator hose is about the right diameter, try a hose from a Morris 1100....they're small, narrower than most radiator hoses and whilst they have a twist at the top, you may well be able to adapt it to fit....

The spigot that comes off it is for the car heater. Many are blocked with a screw and they are available without it.
