Hey mate, Slx will be here in morning. How do I adapt the swivvel connector?
Cheers mate.
P.s the pic in the last thread was the righ thing to order wasnt it?
Yep, it was the right thing. This swivel is made for sweeping brushes. It is a ball joint (ball + socket). Trouble is, it's not strong enough for wfp so the ball pops out of the socket.
You just need to drill a hole right through the "ball joint" & insert a nail/pin or similar through it. this prevents it popping out. the swivel moves from side to side so obviously the hole has to be the right direction to still allow this. Drill the hole as streight & accurate as possible, this will retain a better swivel action. Lube the ball joint with a bit of vaseline or similar for smooth action. It will become clear when you have it in your hand, very simple & obvious but nessesary.
You may have to file a flat spot to get a good drill point.
