SN to RN pole adapter

[Etheraldreamer]

A lot of people when they do the RN pole conversion on their squares have got to grind the end of the pole and the bracket in order to get it to extend far enough. This is because the SN bracket location is on an angle whereas the RN is more flat. I was wondering if anyone had ever used (or does anyone make) a small metal wedge that could be used as an adapter to make the bracket mount flatter and be able to stick to an easier aka no griding install?
not an artist but mocked this up in paint to explain easier. im talking about the red portion, which i made bigger than would need to be in order to express what i mean.

i haven't personally seen one of those, but that bracket from ski innovations seems like it would be a great conversion bracket

I found it much easier to move the hood hooks out further apart and do away with the stop. No need for any pole grinding.
A limiting rope is a must but the pole goes up all the way.

nice art work!

yes i looked at the ski-innovations bracket the only issue is that i already have a lowered billet bracket for a RN that i was goinng to use. sucks to spend money on something you already have

That area needs to be heavily reinforced anyway, I would just rebuild the area before mounting the bracket.

I'm using a RN pole with a RN bracket on my SN. I did NOT do any grinding to the pole. It moves plenty far enough up. Still has the bump stops, but those are never touch b/c you should always run a limiting rope anyways.

you can see a pic of how far it extends in this post

Perhaps i will just build the area up then when i reinforce, i was just wondering if there was an easy bolt on solution...
