    The whole thing is Stainless Steel except the bolt going through the Spyder hitch. I think the mount is 3/4 bow rail and the flag pole is 1/2 bow rail. I put some white tape around the flag pole to center the pole more and cut down on the sloppyness.

    I may have solved my flag holder. I just bought a Pakit Rak and the hitch adapter looks as though it may work great.

    Two birds with one stone!

    That looks cool but what looks cooler is what you did with the trailer cable. Great idea!

    Default PGR Flags

    Thanks
    I'm a PGR and have a homemade two flag mount on my RT trailer hitch. Only I don't use 3x5 ft.
    flags, I use the smaller 2x3 ft flags mounted on 1" EMT. It's quite stable, even at higher speeds.

    Default Flag Mounts

    They are cast and come about in three sections via quick pins.

    I bought them in '10 so I'm not sure if they are still making flag poles and mounts.
    The contact info is:

    Ask for Kevin (mmmachine@comwares.net) and let him know your with the PGR.

    Note: I buy all my US and military flags from Eagle Mountain flags in Texas (http://www.eaglemountainflag.com/) as they are made in the USA.

    they do not seem to be in business. Do you have a current email/ph number for M&M?

    I’ve been using a Rivco pole mount. It’s on a 1/4 x 2 x 4 plate that has a slight offset bolted with the hitch ball stud. The pole mount is not 90 degrees so old glory must go down the freeway at an angle. I use a 1 in metal conduit as the pole and use tag lines from an eye bolt on top to the rear grips as a back up in case the pole comes out on rough roughs with the swing arm action. I do have the pole secured with a keeper pin but bolts and welds have been known to fail before. Where are you buying your flag. A flag made strong enough for high winds is a must. I’m on my 5th flag already from a company down the freeway that sells them to local schools, etc. I live in an area with high wind activity and when you’re traveling into the wind at 60 plus mph they don’t last long. I also have a flag that’s like a net which has been my best. I need to get it sewn up because it’s seen some action a bit. It’s legal to wash and repair the flags btw. I’m a RC in SouCal which is one of the busiest in the country.
