Start by sanding down the PVC endcap and painting it black. While that is drying, take
one of the rubber tips and drill a small hole in the center. Take the
hot stem and remove the bottom screw and rubber O ring. Place the screw through the hole
in the rubber tip and screw on the hot stem. (pic 1)
Drop this into the top end of the pipe and secure with glue. Take the now dry endcap and attach the D ring to the outer end. (pic 2) Before attaching the end to the pipe, you may want to insert one of your rubber tips into the bottom end to add some weight. Now attach your endcap to the bottom of the pipe. (pic2) Cut the weather stripping into 5 strips roughly 5" to 6" long and apply them evenly around the pipe. (pic 3) You may want to secure these with some glue. Take the ground kit and attach to the pipe roughly 1/2 inch from the weather stripping ; You will first need to drill some holes for the screws. Once attached, apply the vinyl pads in any fashion you see fit. Glue one alligator clip at the base of the ground kit. (pic 4) |
