tucker pole upgrading
« on: February 21, 2006, 08:20:24 pm »
Has anyone on here upgraded their Tucker pole to 6mm or less or more pipe?
or upgraded it with proper possitive results?

MAC:I love mine as well and  the Tucker pole ;D
BRETT LOVS MY POLE AS WELL,AND THE BRUSHES ;)

mac: its nearly 50 yrs old and things move on,the only thing I dont like is that duel pipe,its heavy and is always knotting up,just thinking of putting 6 mm pipe up the middle,and doing away with the rinser,as I never use the rinse now.

MACC:MY REPATATIONS INTACT, IF PEOPLE SAY NOTHING GOOD ABOUT ME ;D

Had a pipe burst on me today,on my 5ft pole,thinking of changing the ole lot,
pipes jets etc to micro bore.

by the way how have you managed to change the jets?what sort have you used,dont want to use a diff brush as they are the best on the market,Idont care
what people rant on about brushes,the Tucker brush IS THE BEST.

i stripped the rinse hose out of mine and that made it alot lighter.
just pull them apart and keep going all the way down till theyre seperated

hi gaza, i got some plastic tubing they use 4 windscreen washers on cars. took the jets off that fix the brush to the pole, had to trim the end of the tubing a bit to get it though the tucker jet hole, softened up the tube in hot water & pulled it though then trimmed it.

i then drilled carefully the jet out first to a 3.5mm hole then changed them to a 3mm hole, personal preff.

my mate who has a tucker gave me this tip & its made it a whole lot easier to rince.

sorry about the story but i hope that helps or any one else with a tucker.

macc.  ;D

hi gaza, i'm not very good at explaining myself so i'll try again... the jets that fix through the brush to fix it to the pole i took off, the holes are about 5mm on my poles and i was wasting too much water and couldn't rinse properly with it.

 what my friend told me to do is to get some tubing that they use for car windscreens thats a nice tight fit, i had to heat it up in some water to be able to pull the tube through the 5mm hole in tuckers existing jet.. problem is it squeezed the hole down to about 1mm so i drilled it out with a drill to 3mm.

i didn't use any smaller jets it was only the tubing.  if you still don't quite understand what i'm saying let me know and i'll email you my phone number and i'll try and explain it to you. :)
