Hiya,
          Does anyone know where I can get an  cheap WFP pole carrier from?  For a roof-rack.

Cheers,

Steve

2m aluminium one from Van Gadgets - £150?

Outlasts plastic downpipe rubbish and looks smart.

Yes you can. You thread a circle of elastic through the padlock hole and then twang this around the brush head.  Easy peasy!

I wouldn't leave a new pole in there, but as they get older and worn out, I do leave it there.  It ain't worth much now anyway, although I suppose the brush is worth a few squid.

If security is not an issue, I saw someone using a bike rack attachment to hold a pole to the roof bars.
It isn't a concern for me, as I empty my vehicle every day - there is always some thieving git willing to deprive you of your property. >:(

I would tell you what the Cleantec pole carrier was like. But they have not sent it yet. Ordered last Thursday.
I love waiting in for orders that have not been sent.
Nice of them to let me know.   NOT.
