I have just seen a cheap idea for an EQ6 mounting plate for a pier...
It was a brake disc from a Saab 900 or 1993 Vauxhall Vectra (uk site) and the EQ6 head fitted in the axle hole perfectly. It would just need an azimuth pin putting in (plus holes for your bolts).

This got me thinking if any DIY obsy builders knew of any other wee hints and tips, work arounds, cheap and good alternatives to paying lots (apart from having a best mate who is a metal worker/welder)
