Scroll below the welder listing and there is a pedal there.

Don't suppose you can remember what the size of the gas tube was in the Sherman can you?
Going to have to fit quick release on my Sherman and the Stealth now that I have made plugs for adapting the torches and could do with the tube size.

I had a quick look when I first got mine to see how easy it would be to replace the M10 gas connector with a Rectus 21 type coupling in the front panel (as per the UK Jasic one).
From memory ( not the most reliable ;-) ), the tube was rigid nylon and the other side of the M10 bulkhead gas connector was of the push in pneumatic type.

Was just going to say was 6 or 8mm, not much use! Can have a looksee later and see if the verynears can fit through to slots in the bottom to measure?
If there are slots, just looked back at my old pictures and can't even remember what the bottom panel looks like
going by the pictures, and what I'm pretty sure are m4 screw holes id go for 8mm.. but will have a look later anywayWas just going to say was 6 or 8mm, not much use! Can have a looksee later and see if the verynears can fit through to slots in the bottom to measure?

Awaiting answer also

I have 6mm and had to cleverly heat it, it would be 4mm

Think you used a barbed fitting though? Pushfit pipe is sized on outside diameter.
Guessing Mr Hood is after using something like this
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/153224568598
But in a bulkhead fitting flavour
I have to say I hadn’t bargained for all the extra bits and pieces that I’d “need”!! I have yet to sort out a bottle of argon, but that’s easy as I’ll just use the same place that supplies gas for the mig.
I bought a ttf17 torch from Zoro as it was on special, and I have a 35/50-m10 gas adaptor kit on its way thanks to @David L, along with some 5 pin plugs. Foot pedal on the way from weldes, and a 2 stage regulator and flowmeter from TBWS Welding Supplies. I have to say that TBWS are very good - The plastic knob on the flow meter was broken and I emailed them asking if they had a replacement knob and I got one the next day.
I just got the torch out to have a look at it - branded Kennedy on the torch itself, but I looked at the dinse plug and it has ‘Sherman’ moulded into the rubber shroud - exactly the same lettering style as on the side of the welder.

More or less, I was going to go for one of these types.

Yes! This! Haha! I had spotted this myself and forgot to mention it. I had to swap out the plug (I got the 17 so it had a 10/25 plug). In fact, I note you did too - have you got a 35/50 plug too?
The Kennedy torches seem exceptionally good value - really nice.

Been trying to order the 206P with pedal off Weldes but keep getting a 403 forbidden error, anyone else get this?

Yes, me too a while back when trying to get the S4 mig. I sent several emails to them without a response, but weldes have recently registered here and say that apparently weldes.de works again (but takes payment in EUR) - as does their eBay account (but I think that's more expensive)
