Hi,
Just doing a bit of sorting out to while away the time and I remembered that the blue lay-flat hose to the Whale plug for external water fill-ups has perished a bit and sprung a leak right where it goes into the plug. Easy enough I thought, just need to cut off the plug and re-terminate the hose in the plug. Had a look on the interweb but could not seem to find anything relevant. Took the plug to bits, expecting to see a jubilee clip holding the hose but no, it is some sort of spring clip/crimp I have never seen before. Questions arising:
1) Anyone out there had any experience of this please?
2) How do I get the clip off? Does it need a special tool?
3) Is the clip re-usable?
4) Are replacement clips likely to be available from engineering supply specialists or would I be better off going direct to Whale?
Cheers m'dears.
