some jerk cut my pump hose
cut out a two foot section of it, left me with just the ends(base and head). anyone ever fixed a hose instead of just replacing the whole thing?

Not sure where you'd find the proper head; Though, if its for schraeder valves, you could use a clip-on chuck designed for air compressors. Go to a store that has air compressor stuff. A place like home depot will have it, around here I'd go to Fleet Farm or Northern Tools. There you can buy a hose splice barb, hosing and the clip-on air chuck. Plus hose clamps. Plus: make your hose any length you like ( 
) Minus: somewhat expensive, limited utility (schraeder only).

hello
Maybe the guy needed a fuel line for his car.
Anyway, you can easily splice in a new line between the pump and head.

Get a splice from your local hardware store (LHS?) or two with some section of hose, and hose clamps, to fix the pump. If someone used it for a fuel line, they're in for a big surprise.

Any stock air hose line, four hose clamps, and the brass twin male hose couplers can be bought at the auto part store. I used a similar approach to replacing worn lines in an auto application. As long as there is enough hose left attached to the head and the pump itself (~1in), you should be fine.
