Since assembling the HEQ5 Pro pier attachment as described earlier, I have replaced the EQ5 mount with an AZ-EQ6 GT. Thinking that I would need to create a new attachment assembly I also got an EQ6 half pillar and reckoned that I would need to revisit the machinist for a new base plate. But happily it turned out that the EQ5 and EQ6 half pillars are identical in diameter and thickness and the circumferential bolt holes (3 top and 3 bottom) are also identically located. So in the end all I needed to do was to replace the cut-down EQ5 pillar's top attachment insert with the equivalent one from the EQ6 pillar. See attached image. The point of mentioning this here is that if I was starting out from scratch the method I adopted for the EQ5 assembly works just as well with an EQ6. It looks like you already have that buttoned down with your Option 2 drawings.
Cheers, David
