Hi all. i bought my deli 12 months ago. when i got it there was the bracket for the parking pole but no pole. i bought a pole fleabay which did the job.about 4 months ago when i went to my bus 1 morning, i noticed some nob-end had walked past and bent my pole which snapped it. so here i was sitting with 2 brackets but no parking poles. i tried numerous times to buy 1 from fleabay but to no avail. i recently saw another deli with a parking pole but it was different from the usual ones everyone has so i had a good luck at it and saw that it was half a metal mop/brush handle. i've now got a silver pole cut into half, using my 2 brackets, and made a pole for each side of my bus. there are 3 pictures of what they look like. now i aint no rocket scientist but this wasn't hard apart from attaching the pole to the bracket. i ended up by taking the threaded part of the bracket ( the bit the pole screws onto ) out and just put 4 telf tapping screws itno the new (half a mop handle lol ) pole and carefully screwed it together. it works for me until i find another pole but if you like the sound of this as a cheap replacement pole ( costs about £1 mop/brush metal handle) and need any help pm me and i'll help as much as i can.
sorry about the quality of the pics but i took them at night.
