Title: Reducing the size of the penciljets on tucker brush? (macc)
Post by: dudek on July 16, 2007, 02:10:21 pm

Hello ,

I have had my tucker pole out twice now but i am not impressed with the penciljets as it comes out of the brush with a droop.

Macc said he might be able to help reduce the size of the hole thus giving more squirt, but i just wondered if anyone else has had the same problem and how they possibly overcame it?

All help much appreciated

Dudek

Come on, cannot wait for Macc's pics.
maybe stick araldite into the jets and then just drill them out again for a size that suits ie 1 1.5 2mm

It wont post pics  ???.

Basically you need some tube that they use on the washers on cars, heat it up so it's flexi & supple, pull it through the jet & trim it back. Then with a bit of care with a drill you can redrill the size jet you want, mine are 2.5 or 3mm.
