Tecnorobo Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I'm having trouble fitting my new nammor in my 4 hose sahara odyssey.The nammor is too big to fit inside the fitting. I'm wondering if I should take a little bit off of the hose up to where the grommet fits.any suggestions? It definitely is not sealingI can snap some photos if need be.

waterboi Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 you can actually sand down the end of the nammor that fits into to the hose port. Just be careful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

staygone Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Quit yo moppin' and get sandin!Or, you can screw the hose grommet, get some paper towels, and wrap them around the end till you got a snug fit.-QM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texico Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I had the same problem with mine. I took the hose port end of the hose and held it over my lit lighter for a few seconds and then stuck it in the hose port without a grommet. This molded the end to better fit in the port. Now I don't need to use a hose grommet with my nammor. It fits perfectly all by its lonesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fitting was actually too small.electrical tape did the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oggie505 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 i agree try sanding it down a bit, or i u want open your hose ports with a small dremmel, but modding the hose would be best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dravyn3 Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I too am having this problem with my Sahara Filigree. Has anyone done the sanding process themselves? If so what grit sandpaper? Does it ruin the finish on the hose fitting? How do i make it nice and pretty and clear again? Thanks in advance...Dravyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance...Dravynjust sand the part that will be inside, i wouldnt go anything coarser than 220 and unless there is a huge amount that needs to come off, only do it by hand. if you do use any power tools make sure you have good ventilation or a respirator or both, i think those hose tips are acrylic or some other plastic and that isnt any fun if you get it to hot and it releases fumes.-matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 another alternative is remove the grommet and wrap a double layer of paper towel around the tip. I have had that work on some no name pipes, if not just like everyone said grab some sandpaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
