Spacer for using the MASTWERKS Guying Rings on the Buddipole Mast



The Mastwerks removable guying rings (triangles) can be placed on the Buddipole mast, but they can not spin freely because of the wing nuts of the mast clamps.

Guying rings in conflict with wing nuts can not spin freely


This problem can be solved with a simple removable adapter: Two 3D-printed half shells slide together and form a bearing for the guying ring well above the wing nuts.

Obviously it works! W7ZT, Bill, printed a Spacer for KG0HG

Hello Edi & Bill- Thanks very much for sending me one of your "printed' guying ring adapters!!  It works great and provided the right amount of space to allow the wing nuts to tighten and untighten in the field.
I've included a picture of my setup for a park activation today.

Include it in Chris' BuddiPole catalog as an option!  :-)

The adapter is made to fit to the top section of the Buddipole mast, because I never attached the guys to a lower mast section. I printed with PLA material, with support, so some deburring work had to be done.
