coy55boy Posted May 30, 2011 Share #1 Posted May 30, 2011 I ride with the Patriot Guard and bought a flag pole attachment for my Rivco tow hitch. I didn't like the flag pole that was made for it (seemed a little flimsy) so I went out and bought a much sturdier steel one piece pole. The pole is too small for the receptacle. So, I found a piece of PVC that fits the pole perfectly, but it's 2/10ths of an inch too thick to fit in the receptacle. I tried using a piece of sand paper to 'slim' it down, but I can see that's gonna take a LOOOOONG time. So, I'm hoping some of you will have some ideas on how to reduce the girth of this adapter.

fishrepair Posted May 30, 2011 Share #3 Posted May 30, 2011 A belt sander is the most accurate way. Take it slow and check the pipe fit after each rotation. L.O.L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel Posted May 30, 2011 Share #4 Posted May 30, 2011 Use a coarse hand file, get a cold one, and patiently go 'round and 'round with the file, get another cold one. A good eye, a steady hand, shouldn't take too long. Good luck on the steady hand if you keep refilling the cold one (maybe iced tea or lemonade?).
