Not the best looking of fixes to be honest but if it solves your problem all the same...

nice one bud :thumbsup:

Also you're defo not going to get rust coming through now /emoticons/biggrin.png

 
yea its not guna win first prize for looks but as long as it wrks im all for it im hoping it will last 2/3 months b 4 it will need re doing it drys rock hard an dont peal off very easy:specs just hope it lasts :rolleyes: if it lasted 2 months ill b over the moon:D

 
were i painted the sections the clamp wouldent bite any more an as it was worn so painted it an not its fine again
Gotcha tenchy. I have a low spot on section 1 on my SLX which is near the brush end and it swivels badly. I just clamp it 2" lower now and it's fine.

thats wat i wad donig to my pole but got hacked off with having to think about clamping as im used to leting that section come down super fast an clamp then relise o bugger an have to reclam up a few inches:rolleyes: pole ant even a year old:mad:

 
tell me about it my old clx wore in the clamping point in the closed pershion an the fully extended section so when u titen it up to bite it wont slide as the middle bit of the section is wider ill keep every one updated on how it lasts ill have an ider buy friday:)

 
So have you not tried the gardiner new self adjusting clamps yet?
i have the old clamps on my super max i tryed the new ones on my m8s slx but sadly dident like them at all i titened them up to stop the 360d spinning but i found the levers were then to stiff an i would b werryed they would eather snap or cause the section the were to fast i was guna get a slx as i neecd the super scraper but ive had a cunning plan im guna attech the supper scraper to one of these

 
im eather guna get 2 china poles or a xline i quiet fansy a xline to b honist but if this paint wrks ill b still using my pheonix

 
i was guna cut the bit off that goes on the resey neck then drill a couple holes in it an the bit in the pic above then scrue togther then all ill have to do is adjust the angle to the rite pershion shoulkd wrk well i hope:eek:

 
I used marking tape. Or gaffer tape i think it's called. Take the pole out and tape up the bases of the worn poles and put it back together

 
bit of an up date pole is still going strong some of the paint has come off were it was painted very fin but its still bang on no spinning looks like its guna last 3 months i recken:thumbsup: well chuffed. also my scraper is bang on
