Poles.

[Da'engineer]

I have an REI half dome 2 plus and due to some stupidity on my part high winds bent a aluminum insert I found the replacement part on http://tentpoletechnologies.com/ but I've failed to track down instructions or a guide to replace the insert.

 

A couple things I've guessed about these poles, the insert is glued in I assume and on the end of the pole it has a tie-off locking tip that looks like it is crimped in. If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be helpful!

I doubt glue is used. I think I'd mail the pole to those guys and have it done right.

I don't want to wait for them to ship it to them and then ship it back I'd like just to fix it myself and learn encase it happens again I know what to do.
