Rat cage free pier adapter
I finally had the pier adapter made using a 160mm diameter section of aluminium measuring 25mm in height.
There is a 12mm tapped hole 1/2 way down the middle. This allows the EQ6 extension pillar to be secured to the adapter, while allowing for AZ movement thought the pillar itself.
So I'd secure the mount to the extension pillar first, then the adapter plate and finally the whole lot onto the top plate of my pier via 4x12mm bolts at the cardinal points of the adapter.
Time to get digging for the footing now...
