Tri-Tel Pole Modification

An extra hole "in the right place", makes the pole key easier to use.

Yeah. That original hole placement is quite a design flaw. Redrilled a new hole as you've done.

Thanks so much. I just did it. Cheerio.

So drill a new hole about 1.5” below top of middle section? Still using factory hole in Bottom of Top Section?

[@doublediamondrailroad5949]

Why not leave key in factory hole then drill above to keep same height? Looks like you lost 15” in height?

[@doublediamondrailroad5949]

Ok so did you Drill through top section And bottom while poles are bottomed out?
Your arm blocks the view. Wanted to see spacing between factory hole and your new hole.
