Tapped a whole in the centre of the extension and screwed them together. The old locking screw just goes into the end of the extension....all up cost was about $10.
Prior to this, the weight had to right at the end of the bar but after I put some other bits on the tube it was too heavy to balance any more.

I want to get this for my HEQ5Pro. Sounds simple but unfortunately I don't have the tools for turning down or tapping, etc. Several posts on this have mentioned getting a machine shop to do it. Maybe I should just look in the yellow pages, but does anyone have a suggestion of where I could get it done (cheaply)?
