Tiller extension joint replacement

Originally posted by Rusty69 Thanks. The whole thing rotates, so don't think its glued. I agree, the rivets look too high. I wonder if the green bit is riveted in, and the rubber joint fixed to the green bit within the tiller extension.

quite probably ,  not disimilar to the 'drainpipe'  extension  used on  'gorilla tillers'  in the 1990s 

Carbon tiller extensions are brilliant, stiff and strong but not necessarily super light. But yes they are expensive so have a look at coarse fishing landing net poles (not, I hasten to suggest, perch poles, they are nowhere near strong enough). I had a fibreglass one on the Spice for a long time, it is about 35-40mm dia, stiff and light and was under £20. I have recently replaced it with a Rooster 25mm Carbon extension, better? Yes. Worth 6x the price, probably not.......

I wouldn't recommend spending too much money on a tiller extension. Aluminium is fine, especially on anything under 1.5m. 

If I am not too late.

It looks like an old RWO extension, and the green bit had ribs on it that notched into the grooves in the joint.

You could take JimC’s advice and use a spacer between the extension and the bit that goes inside it. But you would be better with an aluminium extension as it won’t flex like the plastic. And the RWO joint is perfectly adequate so if you buy a complete RWO extension it will save you unscrewing the fitting on the tiller.

Looks like a 20mm od plastic pipe will fit inside the extension.
