I've created a flag mounting solution for the broken hardware to mount my flags to the pole. I wanted something that would likely not come apart in high wind. It's semi-permanent but you can unscrew the wood screws and slide them off the pole. So you can print a set of these for each flag that you want to attach to the pole.
**Does require some common hardware and tools for assembly**
This model features:
Anti-sliding - Flag doesn't slide up and down the pole
Free spinning - Print in Place assembly keeps the bushing in place while allowing it to free spin in the wind
Swap-able - unscrew the clips to slide the flag off the pole and slide another flag back on

Screw the wood screws into the holes in the Bushings. Leave some slack as if the Hooks are free hanging down. Don't pull the Hooks tight against the flag.
