hoover 612 conversion for doublestretch hose toolkit

[z30soulbrother]

hi folkes my latest venture! Adapting my 612 converter to take the flexible hose toolkit of my 652. I took the swive end peice out of a damaged old multipurpose brush, inserted it into the end of the 612 converter, secured it with insulation tape, ( I KNOW I COULD HAVE USED A BETTER COLOUR!! WILL GO OVER IT WITH SOMETHING MORE SIUTABLE!!!) And it will now take my 652 hose and i can use the whole toolkit, which gives me extra hose length and flexibility quicker fit tools angled hose end, great suction, no damage done to the origional set, which are safely stored away for safe keeping

what do you think!!?

Probably not authentic as i have the proper toolkit, but i bet there were people who bought the new type hose to go on these models a few years later, as replacements or adding toolkits in cases where they didnt get one with the cleaner when purchased. Of course the later blue (638?) took a flexi hose with same type side converter didnt it?
