WeatherFlow Meter Weather Vane

This is a weather vane for a WeatherFlow Precision Shooting Weathermeter.  This mounts to a ¼-20 tripod mount. 

I also included a pdf file for the spindle if you wish to make from AL or other material.

Note:  I did not model the ¼-20 threads for Hub Cover and Jam Nut.  You can let the bolt cut the thread or tap the two part.  I did model the threads in the spindle.
