anyone know where I can get a corner brace (1"W x 1"W x 5" L x .125" thick) and a T-brace or L-brace (1"W x 5"L x 5"L x .125" thick) or without pre-drilled holes?
I've looked at Home Depot & Lowes. while they do have the above mentioned brackets. the corner brace & the T-brace need to be mated, but the problem with them is the pre-drilled holes do not match and they have too many holes, (6 holes each), for my liking when I only need 3.
It is for a truck car-flag bed-rail project.
What I'm trying to do is put a car flag which is designed to be used on a window of a vehicle on a bed rail of my truck. I've done a prototype using Home Depot parts. basically I've mated the T-brace & L-brace to two flags with a hose bracket. the T/L braces needs to be mated to corner brace which would be set horizontally on the bed rail. and a rubber strip would be added to the brace as buffer between bedrail & brace. Just so that no ones get confused about the T-brace & L-brace flags, they won't be mounted on one corner brace, but on two.
Please don't mention emachineshop.com, they charge an arm & a leg for something like this. They have parts store if I want to try to sell it, but I'm not sure there is anyone interested in something like this.
oh, the flags are sports related and will have a USA flag (I need to buy a new one, its looking very tattered).
also, I have a hand drill, how do I do counter-sunk holes? they need to be able to fit flat head screws/bolts.
comments welcome
