I used some silicone hose with the end of a broomstick shoved inside. Secured with some jubilee clips and it works perfectly.

you could also use a large bolt or even buy a blanking adapter from ebay, both will fit nicely inside a silicone hose, be a bit more professional than sticking a bit of broom handle in it, no offense intended :thumleft:
