That's good to know, thanks. I will be making it myself anyway, as I already have the material, scrounged from a scrap yard for next to nothing. I also have the skills, as a machinist, to make it myself, although I do need to gain access a lathe though.

I am using hydraulic cylinder tube, as it has a nice thick wall, although, I did note that the EQ8 pier has a thick wall anyway.

Cheers Peter
