Hi Meru,
I'm going along a similar path. I had a pier made up out of 150mm square with a 12mm top plate. I'm regretting not going for 15mm as the welding did cause a slight bowing of the top plate. On your rat cage dilemma, a friend turned up some spacers for me out of 50mm round steel. Four pieces all identical with 13mm hole down the middle. I use these with my 12mm thick mounting plate and 12mm bolts when I go to Heathcote and they make a very solid mounting! If you can get a set like that made up they should serve you very well. Go for about 75mm length. Mine are 50mm and it's a bit of a squeeze to get to the centre bolt.
Cheers,
Ross...
