Or haven't you got a small piece of tube you can weld on? No pressure so no real need for the barb.

true enough^ i was thinking one of those so i could clip a peice of tube to it easy enough and looks proper too, but you're right a peice of tube would work. just thought they looked nicer. my axle can't actually be seen you see

For search purposes, it's called a hose barb.

My LPG system uses them where the output of the injectors goes onto the inlet manifold.

looks very much like the fitting that screw into facet pumps. available for 6 mm and 8 mm hose.

look at FSE (fuel Systems enterprise) they sell them, ..... but check they are steel as if they are brass (which I think they are), you cannot weld but solder sholuld work too.

locost way would be to weld in a piece of steel tube and attach a host with jubilee - it won;t blow off as there should be very little pressure being a breather.
