WELDERS! We need your help! - Niall - 14-05-2015
So, who fancies making a little donation to the club and welding some flag stands that sit under a car wheel like this;
![[Image: 1272058333Wheel_Base_under_tyre.jpg]](http://www.theflagwizard.com/images/feathered/1272058333Wheel_Base_under_tyre.jpg)
Need two of them for the club flags for FCS. Doesn't have to be anything flash. Just something to hold the flag up. I will happily buy the kind donator a few pints at the show
RE: WELDERS! We need your help! - Dum-Dum - 14-05-2015
What adaptor does the base of the flag need. Think I have enough scrap to knock one up, obviously it wont be a pro job but ill try to cover it in enough hammerite to cover my shoddy welding.
RE: WELDERS! We need your help! - Niall - 14-05-2015
It just needs to be a bit of pipe the flag can sit in. I will get the dimension tomorrow
RE: WELDERS! We need your help! - Dum-Dum - 14-05-2015
Awesome, hinges on if I have the right pipe then as I think I have a couple of metal chair legs for the base.
RE: WELDERS! We need your help! - bashbarnard - 14-05-2015
Yeah put the dimensions up. Ive got a few scrap engines lying about. May be able to make something out of engine parts to look cool,.
RE: WELDERS! We need your help! - Niall - 14-05-2015
Be as creative as you like! It either needs to be something where the flag can be free standing (remember, it is a 2m flag so will catch the wind!) or something to sit under a car wheel like they use on car forecourts.
RE: WELDERS! We need your help! - bashbarnard - 14-05-2015
Whats the dimension of flag base though?
RE: WELDERS! We need your help! - Niall - 14-05-2015
Thats up to you. The flag is literally just a metal pole which sits in a detachable grass spike. So all i need is something like the image above to slot the flag in

Bloke at work runs an ST owners club, can ask to borrow some of his? And does this mean our stand isn't on grass this year?

As nice as that offer is, id rather the club has some for future shows
And yes, check the FCS thread!
RE: WELDERS! We need your help! - Connor - 14-05-2015
Ok, well if no one can sort any before then, ill ask just in case. Pfft I can't read...
RE: WELDERS! We need your help! - Poodle - 14-05-2015
I've got a ton of scrap square section kicking about that we could do this with, what size is the flag pole?
Edit: you'll get dimensions tomorrow, got it.
RE: WELDERS! We need your help! - Dum-Dum - 15-05-2015
If we can do free standing would you be happier with that, thinking about a 13" rim weighed down with a couple of brake discs (all scrap obviously)
RE: WELDERS! We need your help! - Piggy - 15-05-2015
let me know what dimensions are and if still in need of one, I'm sure I could knock one up
RE: WELDERS! We need your help! - Dum-Dum - 15-05-2015
So dimensions of this post?
How deep, what diameter and does it need anything on it to tie the flag to?
RE: WELDERS! We need your help! - Niall - 15-05-2015
Will measure as soon as I'm home. Doesn't need anything to tie the flag to. That's built into the pole
RE: WELDERS! We need your help! - chylledapps - 15-05-2015
Assume you have the flag as that and banners, fliers etc I can sort at cost
RE: WELDERS! We need your help! - Niall - 15-05-2015
Right guys many thanks for the offers but Stef is making us some stands up out of some old torsion bars. The pole is 25mm O/D so if anyone wants to make any free standing stands for future shows, feel free
RE: WELDERS! We need your help! - Dum-Dum - 15-05-2015
No worries. I don't have anything 1" ID anyway.
RE: WELDERS! We need your help! - Poodle - 16-05-2015
We'll have a chat later, this square section is ideal for stuff like that.

Torsion bar legs and a beam tube sticking up to put the flag in?
Whole stand could be made of old 306 parts.
RE: WELDERS! We need your help! - Stef205 - 16-05-2015
I had considered using a old trailing arm shaft and torsion bars but I'm torn between something pretty and neat or old beam parts
RE: WELDERS! We need your help! - 7057sam - 16-05-2015
Definitely be cool to use 306 parts to make one

hah!
RE: WELDERS! We need your help! - Stef205 - 16-05-2015
Ive just had a look around my workshop and ive got some good candidates. Trailing arm shafts appear to be perfect for the application and ive got some old bearings to that i can leave on the shaft.

Sounds like it'd look good, like something out of scrap heap challenge!

Stef has been a hero and made the stands for us so if anyone fancies buying him a cuppa at fcs, feel free! lol
RE: WELDERS! We need your help! - Dum-Dum - 19-05-2015
Awesome, never paint them
RE: WELDERS! We need your help! - Stef205 - 19-05-2015
I hope you use the front one at the front as they are cleverly marked!
I will test them once ive a car to park on top of them and ill find some old bearings to make it abit more authentic.
RE: WELDERS! We need your help! - Piggy - 19-05-2015
genius idea!
wish I never scrapped my old beams now
