Cost was around 79 pounds sterling
Surely there’s a 3 party supplier in Australia ?

I am surprised that whatever I do it will be what I consider expensive.
So I may as well cut the legs of the tripod to fit and just set them in cement...or make a unit out of glass reinforced ply..or a piece of box steel ... But I have to do something very soon the observatory is at the stage where the piers need to go in...
In any event thank you both for your help I did not know of any of the suggestions so at least I now know.

If I had the power I could weld something..maybe I will have to build it in Sydney..the ply approach seems the best so far.. low thermal whatever...easy to bolt on switches and stuff...I will design something later ..maybe incorporate a drink holder...
