Hi
I don't know if these attachments will help but they may.
I have a pier that was originally designed to support a Meade equatorial wedge so the flange at the top of the pier has three tapped bolt holes. When I changed over to a HEQ5 Pro unit I bought a SkyWatcher EQ5 half pillar and asked a local jobbing machinist to cut the pillar down and make me up a mating plate to join the cut-down pillar to the pier. I made up for him some rather crude drawings in plan and elevation as well as some construction notes. These are now attached as three pdf files. Also attached is an image of the final result. The mating plate is the shiny aluminium disc immediately above the pier head. It all works very well and is rock solid.
Cheers, David
