[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1005479, member: 178786"] CJ, I got a 4.5" to 3" pole converter fabricated by a small fabrication workshop using bits of pipe I bought from eBay. It was a lot cheaper than buying one from SSS and I gave it two coats of primer/undercoat then two top coats of paint so I hope it will last. 3" pole adapter section [URL="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300688799659?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT"]Mild Steel Pipe 76.2mm(3") x 4mm - 200mm long - Round Tube | eBay[/URL] 4.5" pole adapter section [URL="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/301209444177?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT"]Mild Steel Pipe 127mm (5") x 3mm - 200mm long - Chimney? - Round Tube | eBay[/URL] In total the pipe cost £11.55p and the fabricator charged me £35 for the welding including the metal plate that joins the two sections, drilling the holes for the bolts, welding the nuts over the holes and cleaning it all up.
