Hi all

I was wondering whether any of you modelling chaps could help me...

I managed to snap the hose to my airbrush that I am using to re-colour my cars interior, and I am really struggling to find a replacement.

The fittings on both ends are M5, and I would have thought a very easy thing to buy. It seems not however. All the ebay specials appear to be 1/8bsp. It's becoming quite annoying as its holding up the whole project!

If anyone here could shed some light it would be most appreciated.

Thanks

Eric Mc

I'm no expert but you can get adaptors.

Thanks for the reply. I have found some now, but they seem to be almost treble the price of a 1/8 hose.

That'll teach me to be so clumsy in future!

I have looked at the adapters you mention, but I think they would be too exposed on my compressor and be even more ready to snap. Nevermind, I'll just have to pay up.

Thanks
