CT 26 - Top Cover not available for replacement?? Part No. 100

[PaverMan]

In the diagram is shows that it's number 100, but it's not listed to be ordered?

I can't believe this part wouldn't be able to be replaced?  Really?    Please tell me I'm wrong.

There is a newer version with T-Loc.

It is also much better quality, have had no need to replace it since getting the new version.

To add to above, the "newer version" is fully compatible with all the "older" CT 26/36/48 vacs as the interface was not changed.

Unfortunately the eKat schemes are not updated, so still show the "old" type of the hose garage even for newer vac models which ship with the newer T-Loc compatible version.

For those who are not US-based and are thus considered "hostile alliens" by Toolnut:

The new type Festool part is #204040 (old one was #203227) and looks like this:

WOW!  OK, that's great news.  I thought I was going to have to file down the worst of the shards of plastic sticking out and hope for the best.  It literally looks like a medieval torture device in it's current condition.

Thanks for all the fast replies.

Just ordered a replacement, THANKS AGAIN to all who replied.
