[A/S] Flag pole holder

[Terrence Tyler <tylerbears@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

David, you can make a flag pole holder yourself (small welding job) to 
fit any diameter pole you choose. My inclination would be to stay with 
a holder for three flags, not five flags.

If you don't weld, ask any welder to do it for you. Then, all you'd 
have to do is provide the attaching hardware (U-Bolts) and figure out 
if shims will be needed. Depending on the welder, your biggest decision 
will be aluminum or steel. The holder is a small item so IMHO weight 
isn't a significant factor.

If you'd rather buy an aluminum holder already made, then check out 
those described in last week's earlier posts. Likewise, be aware that 
if you want a holder with a larger diameter, he'll make it for you. 
It's only a matter of using a larger drill bit.

On our '89 32', I made up poles of a larger diameter because my smaller 
diameter poles (the standard at that time) bent while I was away for 
the day. A stiff breeze came up and gave the flags a severe workout.

Because of my newly made up larger diameter poles, I called the guy and 
he made a holder to fit my three larger poles. Price was the same as 
for a holder with smaller diameter holes.

Polish your aluminum bottles once or twice a year. It takes about 15 
minutes for each one and you might like the difference. Some owners 
could care less and that's okay too. The name of the game is to enjoy 
your Airstream in whatever ways suit your fancy.
