That link is for a straight shaft dimensions. Tweak it a little to make it a balance shaft like the Florida straight shaft. Like make it 40" instead the length listed and reposition the arm cuff in front of the control unit.
The one I found at home depot didn't work. It was the one for like pole extension to clean whatever. It had the correct outer dimension of 7/8" but the inside was slightly larger than the lower pole diameter of 3/4". Too much clearance = sloppy pole, it wiggled a bit. So i found a aluminum supply biz online and ordered some 6061-T6 aluminum stock with better clearances, like .009" gap= perfect. I'll let you know how it goes. I'm expecting it Thursday. Actually I will have some extra couple of feet of this stuff. I bought 12' of it. I'll make both where one unit has the arm cuff in front of the control unit and the other one behind. I like to have options.
