Hi all
I have a Whale in line pump that uses the 10mm to 13mm adaptors because the tube is 13mm that are cracked and leaking.
From what I can see these adaptors are not available as a separate item and cannot think of any other standard plumbing bit that is similar. Maybe I am missing the obvious ....
Any suggestions welcome - seems hard to believe you have to purchase a complete new pump to get the adaptors, or muck around with some 10mm tubing and convert that up to 13mm by other adaptors.

Thanks for all replies.
I have gone the "fix it myself" opton as I need it working tomorrow - bit rough but I used a little Roof and Gutter sealant to hold it together and seal the cracks (one of the bushes was in 3 pieces when I got it out of the tube). Maybe this is not the best option but time was against me. Maybe I will re-visit the modellers glue option later as suggested.
I had a look at Whitworths but still could not see these as a "spare part" there and certainly nothing listed I can see on the Whale website.
It all started by me putting a
check valve in the system as the current set up let the water drain back to the tank and I had to
hand pump the water before I could use the Whale pump.
