[Mist A Bit]

No they wont,I got the Hydra poles,the aluminium ones and got a G fit gooseneck from gardeners and it does'nt fit,I'm gonna slap it on Ebay!
Their brushes will fit on the normal plastic angle adapter but their goosenecks wont as their thread in the goosenecks are to far back within the gooseneck and on the Hydra poles their is metal behind the thread for a spanner to fit preventing the G fit gooseneck to fit.
Hope you know what I mean.

Yep, Slash speaks the truth, he's right, it won't fit.

no not exactly,l  but sussed enough to keep brodex brushes for brodex poles untill i can afford  to shop elsewhere for poles.  btw   i thought the g in  g fit was slang for gardiners  lol numb or what

No,the "G" means German thread and to be honest the only way your going to fit a Garderes G fit gooseneck to a Hydra aluminium pole is to cut the female end of the gooseneck about an inch for it to screw into the alloy cone piece on your Hyrda aluminium pole.You can however go ahead and purchase the gooseneck but don't say you have'nt been told!
I have both so know that the Hydra Aluminium pole will NOT fit to a Garderers "G" fit gooseneck

The G-Fit can be modified slightly to allow it to fit to a Brodex pole if really required. The way we do this in the workshop is with a tube cutter we remove the bottom part of alloy collar below the screw thread. This allows the screw thread fitting to screw directly onto the Alloy screw fitting at the top of the Brodex pole. We would also recommend using a wrap of insulating tape around the alloy male fitting before screwing this on to ensure a tight fit.

If required we can perform this slight modification free of charge in the workshop before sending the item out.
