Rod and tent pole canister broken ... how to fix please


Hello fellow travellers

My beloved Hiace pop top , that I inherited from my father,  has been broken into and trashed. He always kept it so beautifully. It is so sad. Was due to go to Kangaroo Valley Folk Festival at the end of the month. 

There is a long PVC canister  on the front of the camper for fishing poles and tent poles. with lockable ends. One of the ends has been smashed and I don't know how  to get a new end or where to go to fix. 

Your help would be most appreciated.

Photo of the broken end, and the good one attached. Plus some photos of how my van was trashed.

Your help on how to fix this would be much appreciated.

Many thanks

ZedJay

The end cap looks like a standard PVC pipe end cap Zedjay. You can get one from Bunnings or any plumbers supply or hardware store. You'll need to make sure you get the right size, either 90mm or 100mm by the looks of it. If you can't fit the handle and lock yourself, you should be able to find a handyman in your local business directory that could do the job for you. Sorry to hear about the van being trashed too mate, it seems there are plenty of r soles about in this world.

Thanks for making it up for the r soles Troopy

Thank you for your great suggestion. Took it one step further and rang a plumber who lives around the corner and he was happy to help. He has all the bits and a drill. 

Kind regards

Zj
