228vx Braided House Crack (Leak)

I just found out why my fill times are so much longer than normal. The end of the braided hose that connects to the compressor is cracked into 3 pieces.

When connected, air leaks out from here

I can’t find the part anywhere on Hornblasters. I see a bunch online, but I don’t know which one to order. I already emailed hornblasters about it, but they’re closed already.

Holy macro shot! Yeah, HB has them.

Well I feel like a freaking idiot. The other day, I ordered an inflation kit and now I’m wasting more money ordering this!

I can’t go a day without my train horns! I have just enough air left in my tank for a day :frowning:

1 Day Service - LMAO

Looks like I ordered the wrong hose, but Maddie from HornBlasters is helping me a great deal to fix it.

I could easily go a day or 3 w/out my horns to save that hefty shipping bill, lol

Installed the new leader hose today! Works great! Fill time is terrific! Had to stop by AutoZone to get more heavy duty zipties, and the manager wanted to hear the horns. His exact words were “Holy poop, scared the poop out of me!”

Don’t know how he got me the box of $8.99 zipties down to $2 for me, lol.

Yeah, I’m amazed when the shipping costs more than the product but some customers lose more money in down time.
