Wanted: Pole end #16717

I broke the jaw on one of my aluminimum pole ends. I am having a custom carbon pole made but it won't be ready by the beginning of this season and I still want my aluminum for back up and practice.

It is one of the old alumnimum pole ends that is an odd size (possibly from Hall spars?): 68 mm inside diameter (~2 11/16"), 73mm (2 7/8) OD.

If anyone has any of these old ends laying around, or is willing to take them off an old pole, let me know.

Thanks!

Scott

Oops, totally put this in the wrong forum! Can one of the mods move it over to the wanted forum?

Thanks

Scott,

I have in my basement a used Forespar Ultra UXP-250 fitting #304050

[Linked Image]

It fits a tube with 1.87" ID. You could use this and have a piece of Delrin turned in a lathe to make a sleeve for the aluminum pole. It will need new Amsteel loops installed.

You can have it for $50 plus shipping.

ps - you can also make the sleeve with raw Delrin stock and a drill using two circle cutters. Drill the outside diameter first, then drill the inside diameter.
