if we are talking about the plastic bottom of the angle adapter on to the screw/ thread section of the pole then warm it up over a flame ( candle, cooker ring) and then screw it on the plastic form around the screw thread
-
done that with last one and worked a treat. This time it sorta melted lol
-
think i need a new end cone lol. anywhere sell them online ?
-
cut off end of the harris pole...take a screw end out of cheap
broom/mop stick that angle adapter will naturally screw on.
push fit broom/mop screw into harris pole opening
more secure fit either tape or drill through pole and attach
with nut and bolt
-
I am bound to have one lying around somewhere, if not I will have a one where if you drill out the metal bit at top of pole, wrap a bit of tape round pole, then attach the angle adapter, you can buy this part, flip knows where though, but I definitely have one or two, but anyway I will have a cone somewhere if you want it just ask
or just do what garry says, that works as well

Gardiners used to stock Pole End Screws in two diameters - we use them in Unger telescopic poles.
Couldn't find them on their website but may be worth a phone call.

harris pole..is on average a half hour of earning ;)

I pop riveted mine when I had one,less chance of hose snagging on the ends of screws and putting a hole in it.

when they realise that ally is a fe cking muppet, who has no idea and has to manage a real budget probably, but hey he was pretty good to ICTFC and turned down jobs because he liked Scotland, so maybe cash is not his number 1 priority, who knows, we will see, hope he sticks it, if he has ambition though, he really should avoid the tax evaders like the plague ;D

did you find any nose cones?
-
matt used to have a website explaining it all, dont know if its still up. google diy water fed pole
-
for trad use to make the bottom end of a Harris last longer i drill a 1/8 hole right thru about 1/4 inch up from the base and put a thin bolt n nut thru the pole. on the middle of the bolt (inside pole )i slide on about 8 small pieces of squeegee rubber
this acts as a buffer when you close up the pole
-
i have in the past used hea ton the nise cone and wound the crank on. this one is now damaged.

But a Harris pole isn't made by Gardiners so it's useless.

In the past I used a Harris pole for about 2 years and it did the job fine.

got half a dozen sat in garage ready for use...will keep me going
for years they are relatively light which isnt a issue for me anyway.
i personaly think whats on the end of the pole(brush) is more important
than the weight of the pole especially at lower heights up to 30 feet.
The overall height of pole can be a issue i suppose,but i use mine
modular anyway so not a issue again and adjust height when necessary
using my band system.
If i need third storey i just stick a old fibre glass section on the end.
As for gardiners poles they are obviously very good and have recomended
them to others,but would be far too fragile in my hands would be wasted
on me :)

sorry mate never looked, will check lock up tomorrow and let you know, there will be though

They wouldn't last long with me either. Unger used to make an angle adapter that fitted the Harris. You had to drill the rivet out of the end of the Harris and remove the part that the cone screws onto[ or just cut the end off with a hacksaw] You have to drill a hole in the top of the pole for the little spring lugs on the adapter to locate. You squeeze the little spring buttons on the adapter as you insert it into the pole, they then click out of the holes you drilled and keep the adapter in place.
I haven't mentioned it for a while so for any new Harris pole users this is how to fix the clamps when they start to slip.
1] Undo the clamps to reveal the plastic claws
2] Get a plastic drinks bottle and cut off the top bit and the bottom, then cut it down the middle, you should now be left with a plastic sheet.
3] cut a strip a centimeter wide off the bottle
4] insert one end of the strip under a claw and wrap it all the way round once.
5] screw your clamp back on and it's fixed, your clamps will hold again.

yes have a nose cone, email an address and I will send it, or you can pick it up if you ever pass falkirk.
good advice there Dai, it kept my harris going for years that tip

Mine too. The stanley paintpad swivel is the best swivel you can ever use, so easy to convert for the Harris pole and fits onto the cone.
