While I had the gear box off the engine to polish it , I thought , would make a flushing cone .

We pushed 3 bits of hose up a regular sized hose and sealed it up with heatshrink - works perfectly and has lasted ages!

Hi , i did exactly what cookie just said but incase off heatshrinking i just sigaflexed the hoses into the reguler one , but i did it with 4 hose inside a regular size hose incase i use it with a 4 hole @ some point, what i do now is just kink 1 thin hose as it`s not needed in sportmaster.

I used it in Oct in Dubai and it worked , it does spray water out the holes but still enough goes up , it does that with the cone too anyway.
