Does anyone sell just the twist fittings to connect the hose to the pump on a liquid force pump? I keep twisting too hard and shearing off the pins that keep it attached.
Thx

Re: Pump hose fittings?
Carefully drill a small hole and put in a #4 or 6 wood screw. Better than new. These plastic pumps are made in china last for one year shit!!! Bought a brand new still in the bag epic pump, the second time I used it the seals blew out of the inside. Took it apart and the main seals were too soft and kept coming off the slots! Had to bastardize it with a 7 year old best pump to get it to work. Come on kite companies make a decent pump for chrisakes! Anyhow I digress, give that a try.

Re: Pump hose fittings?
why are you twisting so hard? But decent idea on the small wood screws...until you twist those too hard and shear the screws and have a leaky hose 
Seen North and Cab pumps last a long time.
