Festool CT33 replacement hose garage

[gvega9889@gmail.com]

Is there a Festool CT33 replacement hose garage with the updated T-loc?  I've seen upgraded garages for the mini and mi dr I extractors.  Will the newer replacement tops fit it or will I need a conversion kit? Thanks.

There is no replacement top for the older types. There is nothing from Festool you can get to upgrade them to T-Lock. If you want to do that you'll have to improvise something yourself.

Thanks for the response.  It seems strange that Festool would market a t-lock conversion kit for the Mini/Midi and not the bigger extractors.

Oh wait! I just remembered something. At first the older models came with a flat top, but at one point they started them selling with a separate hose garage you could attach on top.

If you buy this you can probably fit the T-Loc on top. Maybe right away, maybe with a small modification.

Yes, I already have the top shown in the link.  That's what I want to replace with one that has the tloc

But why? It already works, doesn't it? Just so you can turn the knob?  [blink]

It has some damage to it so I figured if I was going to replace it, I would do the upgrade.
