The link doesn't work.  I changed the last bit to html and it still didn't work.  I also tinkered with a couple of other bits that may have been typos but still could not get any joy.
Could you check the link and re-post please?

This is weird.  That doesn't work for me either.
I've tried other links in other posts to test my settings and they all work fine.
What am I doing?  I don't even want to make a pole anyway   ;D

Hi jouk.

no they are just telescopic, you just pull them out until they jam, when you get them just open up the end and disguard
the top 2 sections.

You then need to make a gooseneck from 10mm id bore aluminum and fit your brush head.

Cheers Jeff.
