Thread: First one is complete

Thanks for the advice bro. With the wing nut lock on the lilpro rod holders I can adjust left n right real easy

This is what I have been using for three years. I like it. The clothes pin is to hold a rag.

DD, black and galvanized pipe will have a tapered thread. The threaded end of the pipe may bottom-out on the deck of your boat before it tightens in the floor flange. You might want to cut some of the threaded end off so the tapered threads will seat in the floor flange, as opposed to the end of the nipple bottoming-out on the deck.

If all that makes sense.

That is why I put the lock nut on it. I was afraid I cut a hole into the carpet or wood trying to screw the pipe all the way tight.

Electrical threads (assuming that what lock nut you're using?) are cut straight, so it would really never "tighten" properly. Been so long since I fooled with any of this stuff......best thing to do is, hit the hardware store, pick-up a 1/2" floor flange and nipple, screw them together and see of the nipple protrudes past the bottom of the flange.

I sure hold you guys can make these things for a lot less than $85 a set because if you can't you are crazy not to just get you some Hi-Teks and be done with it. I also like to make some of my own stuff from time to time but I usually spend more trying to make it than I can buy it for.
