I was asked to put an EQ5 mounting on a pier which already had a plate for Meade and Celestron telescopes.
Using a heavy duty water flange as the base, I attached three 25mm square section, welded angle, steel brackets which held a top plate. To this plate was attached the mounting bracket.
The reason for the gap is to have room to get to the mounting screw crank below plate.
