Morning everyone iv been looking around for an adaptor so that I can use 5kg wire reels on my sip t105p? Iv seen a couple on eBay for £14 but it doesn't say what models it will fit here is the link

Sorry that I can't help with your question but I'm astonished that people will sell and buy a lump of plastic for £14!

That said, good luck with the search

Yea me to but it soon pays for itself one you buy a 5kg roll of wire for about £16 delivered whereas a 1kg roll as my local car shop is £7.99

Facing the same issue and looking for a cost-free option, I used the core of a used small reel, cut down to fit this inside diameter of the 5kg reel. Retaining it is a used 1mm grinding disc as a giant washer. It's been on there for 2 months of intermittent/hobby welding, no problems at all. £14 saved !

Thanks for that I'm sure I can find an old wire reel somewhere

Well I don't Adam and Eve it Iv only gone and found a proper adaptor that must if come with the welder when new.

Went in the garage to look for some insulation tape and saw something that looked the same as the adaptor on eBay and turns out it's the adaptor I need

Happy days

Well done! Now put that £14 toward something important, like beer
