Thread: Single rod holder got me stumped

Guys I need some help. I can’t afford 600 bucks worth of rod holders and I work for a fastener company so I figured I would throw a few nuts and bolts together and make my own. Some guy on the sale page had some homemade ones that inspired me so I drafted up my concoction and here we are. The base is just a 1” single arm ram mount. And the rest is just threaded rod a coupling nut and some conduit covering it. My problem is the weight is to much for the mount to hold steady. I have tried putting in a set screw in the ball at the top of the mount but that doesn’t hold so then I drilled and tapped it and put a thumb screw in. That didn’t hold so now I’m stumped. Anybody made anything like this that can help me?
