I converted a 3 metre length of soil pipe from the local builders merchants, complete with 2 end caps, cut a slot for the neck.Then down to Halfords to get the mounting clamps for the roof rack. Sorted.

Duke, glue some cushion foam or a sponge to the inside of the end cap, then put a circular piece of ply behind that and this will decelerate the pole when you brake hard and your pole shouldn't go through the end.

And win a Blue Peter badge! ;)

No the brush head stays on.
You just cut a slot for the gooseneck to slide into.

Don't know about poles without goosenecks as i dont have any of these.
