have you tried contacting polished bliss? Anytime I've had to they've been awesome, maybe call and send them some pictures of your lance and see if they can recommend the right fitting.

right after contacting the chaps at polished bliss and makita i have found that makita do not make and will not make any generic fitments as they are not in the car detailing business and the risk of copyright is what makita have said.

now rich at polished bliss has said that some people replace the hose and gun for a karcher one but im unsure wich one
