[QUOTE="bobberboy, post: 173312, member: 1417"] I once cut a 15" pedestal down about 6". I cut off the female end of the pedestal so as not to compromise the strength of the pin at the other end. I removed the nylon (or some kind of plastic) female insert from the cut off end and hammered it into the shortened post and it worked fine. I ended up having to cut up one side of the cut off tube and splitting it open to get the female socket out because it was too tight to get out any other way. Mine was the 3/4" pin size pedestals. The larger ones that lock into the floor socket may not work in the same way. [/QUOTE]
