The holder is made of 1/2 in. ID Aluminum tubing, cut to fit into the seat uprights.
|
Put a bend on the bottom end of the tube to keep it from turning in the seat upright.
|
This is the "model" we're aiming for.
|
This is what it looks like before taping, file off any rough edges.
|
After wrapping it looks like this
|
Cut some hose to fit into the upright and act as an isolator / spacer to center it in the tube, cut part toward the front, of the seat.
|
Tape it in place, using just enough tape to make it snug not tight.
|
Slip it into the seat tube, (note that the fiberglass rod is taped too, so it will not rattle!)
|
Looks like this when assembled.
|
The lawnflag needs something to hold it on the pole -- Etgar uses a button hole in the bottom edge, for the bengee cord.
|
The bungee then attaches to the seat like this -- you can attach it to the other side if you want to temporarily fly the flag closer to the center of the trike.
|
You can use 2 poles, one on each side!
|
Here's a shorter pole
