6 meters (20 feet) of BS125 to Finland is 20.11 Eur. So I guess it's more or less the same price in UK too.
Have to check how much I need and update the hose.

Matthew,

Just search "braided sleeving" on eBay, and you should find it. That's where I got mine. It was a few years ago, but IIRC it was less than GBP10 for the sleeving and the heatshrink (not from the same seller).

Edit: just had a quick look, and the prices seem to have gone up a bit since I last bought some (there's a surprise!).

I think it was the 50mm size I got. That gives plenty of room to get a 27mm hose in plus feed the plug-it cord through, and would also be ok for 36mm.

Guys, just remember to leave as much plug it cord hanging out tool end of vacuum hose sleeve. Different tools need more slack than others.
