I have a tube, a connector and a bin cage, but how on earth can I do it?
I've attached a Ferplast connector to a standard cage before, but not a bin cage.
The bin cage has a 'window' of 6mm mesh but I don't know if it's even possible and... AAGH!

It's not much different, at least it wasnt for me when i connected a bin and a bin.
This cage, does it have a connecting point already? I assume it does but if it doesnt it doesnt matter.
- Cut hole in bin and cage, same size as the tube diameter. Either a drill piece (easy option) or melt a hole (slightly wobbly lines but still works). Or cut through the mesh. I'd go straight through the plastic if possible, attaching a cage connecting piece to 6mm mesh would need a bit of cutting and would get fiddly i'd imagine.
- Stick tube in bin. You don't need a connector for the bin.
- Fit tube in cage connector with one of the rings supplied with tube
- Secure other ring around the tube inside the bin.
