I am looking for the connector that attaches the hose to the vest,
used in a water timer from Australia?
Can some one tell me where I can find them?
Thanks

I was looking at attaching a garden hose connecting system to my TIE helmet and went to look for a tap connection I could play around with.
Look what I found, I've walked past these MANY times and never took much notice........
I think they'll do nicely![]()
Ya know, I live in Australia and our property has an irrigation system, but did I even think of looking at it for the connectors? Man I'm an idiot![]()
Cheers,

Nice find!!! We don't have those over here![]()
Thanks MonCal![]()
Well, we took a trip to the local hardware store and found the item, it's a....
Pope BSP nut & tail, they come in 20 & 25mm, under $3Aus. Since I'm not that far into the build of the vest, I haven't looked into it yet, but if anyone can let me know which dimension is correct, I can buy them and ship them to you guys at cost of item plus postage, packaging, plus Paypal fee's (4% I think) . I won't take a fee, what I pay is what you'll pay. I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Kraig

Ooh! I need a set!

Hi Julie,
We will pick up a set tomorrow - the hose we are using is 25mm or 1" (Moncal sent it to us, so hope you can get the same size).
Once we get them, we will have to work out the postage cost to the US.
Cheers
Kraig & Wendy
Thanks!!! If my hoses are more than 1" they're not MUCH more. I'm excited now... We were just getting ready to go in search of new connectors for my brand new chest armor, too. Yeah, I think those will do
*does happy dance of Australian hose connector joy*

Hi Julie,
Have just got back from the hardware store, and the post office.
The connectors cost $2AUS, but airmail including packaging & paypal fee to the States is $9.70.
Total cost to you, and anyone else interested will be $11.70 AUS.
If interested please PM your address, and we can get it shipped same day.
Cheers
Kraig & Wendy
PM sent, but just so she doesn't have to repeat information, I'd like a set for Zamovar too. If you don't get back to the hardware store anytime soon, I understand. I don't think we're in any hurry!
BTW, I think I still have a box of the Aussie Connectors laying around my place.
In case anyone needs a pair.
Hi Julie,Originally Posted by Iceheart
Just checking if you have received the connectors?![]()

Julie
And I now have mine, via Julie! Thanks!

Just the two, sorry Bill.
Hi Asok
I can go to the local hardware and get some for you if you like. Same price as the others.
Let us know
Kraig & Wendy
Thanks! I just it will be a week or 2 before I have the money. A tornado moved out truck and I need to get it fixed first.
No problem,

Hmm.. sorry Ben. I guess this is one detail I forgot to put on your list![]()
I think we can find a few sets though![]()
Okay... since you're such a nice guy MonCal.. 1/2 a million + a Zam Kit and a Helmet!![]()
Seriously... I'll email you the details.
Benkenove & Eskilax: I don't have any more than that. I got all my connectors like 2 years ago from two different people, one of whom is no longer on the boards here.
