making a cheap 30ft wfp

ive got an unger 30ft extension pole(5 section)and i was thinking of turning it into a cheap wfp for a few jobs for the odd window here and there and any bigger stuff im likely to get over the next few months.
i used it as a 3 section(sometimes 4 section)trad pole.ive never even used the 5th section yet!!
unger end cone
nylon angle adaptor
salmon brush(pencil jets)
5mm pole hose
rectus 21 fittings
would these items do the trick?maybe change the brush for a gardiners superlite?
in a few months when funds allow i invest in a better pole but would this be ok for now and do any of you use one?(or have in the past)
regards

yes i used one for three years and finally its in my garage, less the last section which fits perfectly onto a harris pole makeing a nice cheap 23 footer.
its ok for high stuff but a bit heavy for shallow angles but saying that i used it for long enough and only replaced it when i was picking more and more work at that height

thanks stu.
ive got my eye on a few properties near where i work that are MASSIVE!!!Im sure i could pick one or two up on a 2 monthly basis!!!
there are literally loads of very exclusive properties that ive never even thought of canvassing until now!!
i think ill wait until i find my feet a bit more with wfp and ive completed my round at least once before canvassing some of these places!i need to get kitted out though on the cheap for now!!
best wishes

only thing i would say dazmond is that the unger cone is a different thread so you need to put a self tapper through it or buy an adapter from cleantech that does the right thread

I still use one. I only use the 4th & 5th sections on one property I do. It is hard work!
The kit looks fine, but I would buy the cleantech pole end as it is very hard wearing. The unger one is just a standard pole end with a pressed steel thread for the brush rivetted to it. Mine didn't last 5 minutes.
