I've been busy lately, but was able to do a bit more today.  Working on a half frame that will adapt the Newell 220/501 stand.

Very cool Chad, I cant wait to see the finished product.

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Chad what are you gonna do with the Newell stand? Could you mill a slot in the tube for a tube like off a Tib frame or Cortez kit with two screws?

I have one you can get.

xjchad

Thanks guys!
I just hope it turns out like I envision in my head.

John,
I'm not planning to modify the Newell stand. It will fit in the pocket of the frame.

Coming along nicely Chad, looking forward to the next step. Did you turn the cylinder or is it a section of tube?

It can't be too difficult - a lot of people do it.

Gotcha. I meant to say "foot"; it was a long day, that would fit in similar pocket and save you the Newell for something else. Plus I know you have the skill to tap that frame for clamp screws. Lemme know and its yours (it's black so would look good on  the reel in any case).

Thank you John, that's mighty generous of you!
I didn't think I could get a Tib style foot by itself anywhere.
Thanks!

Great thread!  Thanks, Chad!

What modifications are needed to put the 30-49 stand on the Mag 10?  And the Newell stand?

Randy (JRD) posted some pictures on the previous page and on his thread here: http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=25781.0 showing the spacers I made him that allow the use of the 30-49 stand.  These will also work with the Newell 220/501 stand.  I don't have any more at the moment, but if there's more interest, I can make some.

The current project for my Monster Mag is a half frame that will fit the Newell (or 30-49) stand to it.  John is also sending me a Tiburon frame foot to try as well.

I'm using a piece of 3" OD x 1/4" wall aluminum tube.
