The main problem with a square is that i believe that the component that you use to attach the flag rod to the top of the drivers' station is actually a round hole. Making a square might cause the rod not to fit :/

You could however find some way to narrow it down so it could fit the hole, but even then theres a chance it won't fit too well.
