Yeah my Tradition doesn't have the vent so I wonder why my H1 16" Nozzle has it then.

Yes Ben handy for when I'm doing the hall way carpet which isn't in the best of condition letting some suction out the machine it doesn't tend to lift the carpet like the other Kirby's do. The smaller 13" nozzle has one too but in green obviously with it being originally a Santronic 80 nozzle...

Ben, I added a small screw in to the back of the nozzle I managed to carefully get the right location using another nozzle as a template simply drilled a small hole tapped it and added the screw in works a treat.

Here's another photo I have also added a new bumper to the original nozzel.

Hi folks, I recently got my hands on a Santronic 80 nozzle, I have always wanted a small nozzle for my Kirby Heritage so I decided to convert this nozzle to fit on my Heritage here's the result work's brilliantly.

Kirbys are like Volvo's Does that make them the safest hoover's in the world then lol.

Wow that's a big collection Steve, it's an excellent achievement to have some many Vac's and varieties of Vacs that you like. I don't think I'll ever get to that amount, I tend to just go with the Kirby's I want and theres only so many of them I can get. At the moment I do have a couple of the...

Lol not a fan of Dyson's myself, my mother had one about ten year's ago not sure what model it was I don't know them that well, It didn't last more than 15 months the motor burned out lol. I brought it for my mother who struggled with the Kirby's, at the time I didn't have a Generation series...

Very nice Steve, I wish my G4 looked as good as that you've done a good job getting it looking the way it is.

The shipping wasn't too bad Steve I did two order's with Kent (the seller) as I had so much to order. As for the 512 I love it such a nice machine I never noticed the taller handle until you mentioned it lol, I originally wanted well still want a ComVac 1300 but the chances of getting one of...

Steve, the Classic 3 bag was converted by the previous owner I haven't decided yet what to do with the bag I may keep an eye out see if I can find one in the future but at the moment I can't spend any more money I'v spent too much this month lol. As for the parts list that is what I brought new...

Oh yeah Steve it's too good a bargain to miss I think once I start looking at Kirby's for doing up and selling something like that I'd go for. My Two new machines.

Well I got my Classic 3 done pretty pleased with the results although not a match for the Classic 3 in the picture a few posts above. This turned out to have a few more part's than I first thought. *New power lead *Front nozzle bumper guard *Front nozzle belt lifter with decals *Front nozzle...

Wow £47 for that bargain Steve a quick clean and polish it'l look like almost new.

Yeah I agree Steve, I'm guilty of it I would rather order kirby parts belts bags from off the internet in the convienience of my own home and wait for the goods to come for me, than take a trip up to Shelton to get them from the shop on the same day, Although after hearing from you its now...

Sorry thought it was buy it now at £40 just noticed its auction personally I wouldn't pay more than £70 for that, just have to see how many go for it and what the price goes up too.

It look's Ok probably look 50 times better with a good clean and polish description say's it runs, Personally if it was me for that amount and looking at it id get it. Yeah like you say Steve you don't know what hidden nasty's are in these older Kirby's but I think it's worth a chance, if the...

Yeah that Classic is just gorgeous, I did want it so much at the time (still do lol) and with living only a few miles away in Clayton it would have been easy to get, I hope who ever got it look's after it because I think it's the nicest classic 3 I've ever seen.

No Steve that wasn't me I saw it and wanted it badly unfortunately I had an unexpected vet bill to pay so I never had the chance to get it. That's a shame to hear about KD service centre, I haven't been for year's with having so many parts regularly available on the net. The many year's I went...

Very nice that Tradition it look's lovely great job, they have to my favourite Kirby model. Craig
