Title: LWC's vid for threading harris pole
Post by: JSMC on October 03, 2011, 11:13:12 pm: anyone find the vid that LWc posted on how to get the end cap threaded to take brush?

Post by: stuart mc on October 03, 2011, 11:18:58 pm: just heat the end cone up and turn the brush/ angle adaptor on, nothing complicated mate you don't need a vid

the first time I did it I didn't even use heat just brute force, but a lighter, heat gun, boiling water, hair dryer maybe would do

Title: Re: LWC's vid for threading harris pole
Post by: richard jagger on October 06, 2011, 05:40:56 pm: used the thickest pole from two old poles to extend and added a 14 inch to the front this works as a gooseneck or will extend the pole a foot.
Ask Sensia to tell you folks I am not very good at describing what to do.
Title: Re: LWC's vid for threading harris pole
Post by: richard jagger on October 06, 2011, 05:44:26 pm: I have just seen a shorter Harris pole which will make a good ground and first floor pole.£ 14 only.

Title: Re: LWC's vid for threading harris pole
Post by: jouk45 on October 13, 2011, 12:06:11 am: cut off 1inch from the tip of the cone , before heating and rethreading for a better fit
