Teleco Teleplus arial rubber gaiter fix
The Teleco Teleplus arial became difficult to raise, the reason is the rubber gaiter becomes adhered to the alloy tube, twisting or raising up can split the gaiter, which you guessed cant be obtained separately. the fix is to inspect the gaiter from outside i used a tall step ladder, the neck of the gaiter had split, gently elevate slightly the Arial, lever the tension spring up and over the rubber gaiter neck onto the alloy pole purchase Diall black rubber self fusing tape and Flomasta silicone spray Srewfix total just over £5.00 measure the height of the gaiter neck measure the circumference allowing for overlap to self fuse, i had to trim the tape to approx 20mm for the height of the gaiter neck, wrap the rubber tape around the existing rubber neck i had to put a dab of super glue on the perished neck to prevent it rotating when applying the tape, using kitchen roll wipe the alloy pole with silicone, lever the tension spring back onto the neck, from inside Motorhome /caravan wipe the alloy pole with silicone, test for smooth action of the elevating arial and congratulate yourself on the saving towards your next trip away.
