Outlasts plastic downpipe rubbish and looks smart.

Yes you can. You thread a circle of elastic through the padlock hole and then twang this around the brush head. Easy peasy!

Post by: dave0123 on January 20, 2008, 07:25:10 pm: i wouldnt leave mine in one even if it was a proper metal one!!
Title: Re: Pole carrier?
Post by: Tim Rose on January 21, 2008, 10:45:44 am: I wouldn't leave a new pole in there, but as they get older and worn out, I do leave it there. It ain't worth much now anyway, although I suppose the brush is worth a few squid.

Post by: Ian W on January 21, 2008, 01:29:22 pm: If security is not an issue, I saw someone using a bike rack attachment to hold a pole to the roof bars.
It isn't a concern for me, as I empty my vehicle every day - there is always some thieving git willing to deprive you of your property. >:(
