Hanger post: holds a spool hanger round a horizontal 2 in tube

Notes

  • An upright plate with a foot: the spool hanger's bar bolts to its face with two M5 × 16 into tapped holes 78.8 apart, the hanger turned so its ring stands vertical round a horizontal tube with its axis 235.3 above the bench.
  • On the twin-piston engine one post sits under each bounce spool.

Questions

Can it hold a vertical tube?

Use the 2020 stand for that; the post is for horizontal spools.
