Sweet spot knee leaver Flag you can build!

Post by Johnie King »

These are for a s10 push pull.

Two ways to make these in picture below.

Image Image Here in pictures shows a easy way to build a quick release knee leaver flag sometimes you need a large flag especially on left knee left on a s10 but a large flag would not fold the Quick release flag will work just loosen the screw an slip it off.
The metal in the flag is there to show how the flag attaches too a Emmons knee that’s 3/8 thick.
Just a quickie build here too help the guys that like to make there own flags.
The milled flag is neater but there’s a lot of milling with the waste you need too mill away.

Image
Image These Knee flags are adjustable that’s the reason for the name sweet spot it just depends on where your knee hits the most comfortable sweet spot.

Attache’s with set screw or thumb screw no need too drill an tap holes in your knee leavers. Just find the sweet spot on your knee lever for flag too mount an slip the grooved
Flag over knee leaver an tighten set screws ::: or for fast detach an mounting flag use a 8/32 small thumb screw.

These will fit any steel knee lever with square or rectangle knee but the milled groove has too fit snug so the tolerance for snug fit has to be a friction fit too function right.

Wish I’d known you’re making these.
