Hi Robert, here's those pics I promised.

After the mount is attached to the top plate, I'll lower it on those 4 long bolts and put securing nuts on the bottom side as well to lock it in.

The azimuth post may need a bit more fiddling depending on how well (or poorly) it sits with the bottom of the mount. But that's just grinding wheel work and not a big deal.
