Cut back your pole tip to match the size of the bush using a fine tooth blade. Use sandpaper to remove any sharp edges.
Check that the bush fits snugly and then smear a small amount of Araldite onto the outside of the bush and push in.
Push the uncut bung into the end of your section. Mark and cut two ribs smaller.
Thread the elastic through your top kit and attach to a Stora bung. Wind some additional elastic on the winder to enable you to adjust the tension later on.
Tie on your connector using an overhand loop. First thread the elastic through the sleeve and the hole in the connector...
... double over the elastic and tie the overhand loop. Moisten the elastic and gently tighten the knot down to the connector.
