Title: goose neck
Post by: s.hughes on September 12, 2006, 09:04:12 am

I need a gooseneck that is longer than the black plastic one that comes with most poles. I have a threaded end on my pole and need a longer goose neck. Garderner systems do one but they are on hols at moment and I need one before Friday.
Has anyone got any good links to sites that sell some.

Cheers
Steve

I have a metal unger goose neck but it cant be used on a threaded pole end.

Q. can u heat up and tap off (temporarily) the threaded  cone on your pole, then will the unger elbow adapter fit inside the alu tube, then maybe you could drill 2 holes to accomodate the Unger spring clips.
Or maybe you could use two of the plastic goosenecks together.

Good question, but this pole is going 45 ft so I would have to make sure it was 100% safe. Also although its an idea I shouldnt have to do it as there should be a larger goose neck out there.

If it's the standard goose neck which fit vikan brush heads, etc then why don't you just get another angle neck and screw it on to the first one? Twice the reach.

if you can do that with an extra goose neck then can you not do it with several to get the goose neck you need

Thats what I've been looking at as it seems the only way, strange that I have to do this though.
