I’m not even sure how it goes on 🤔 Any guesses? Only thing I can think of is some sort of long tool that inserts the pin from the other end of the tube.

The telescoping mid-leg sleeve has the same fastening system as dies the foot, which I now notice has a crack too.

Anyway, alls well that ends well and I now own a spare telescoping stainless steel leg. Which I need to use in a new project. Suggestions welcome.

I’d have saved some steel tubing and plastic but I’d have to have access to more tooling and possessed/learned an extra skill (pop-riveting). Think I’ll work out the dollar and carbon math here. Interesting problem.

Rivet tools are surprisingly cheap, at the consumer product rivet scale. I'm looking forward to finally needing to rivet something.

The last two times for me were repairing a crock pot and a bread machine. Cleaning out excess material required getting in behind the “no serviceable parts inside” inner sleeve. Remove the fasteners they used, which were a different sort of single-use fastener, pop rivet, done
