General question to all readers, if i supplied a drawing can anyone make a CGX adaptor?

No idea sorry. I think I will go down this rabbit hole soon. I do note however that Richard Berry's review for Celestron.com was done with a pier! "Second, I wanted to determine how well the CGX would serve as the principal attraction of my small roll-off-roof observatory. Since the base of the equatorial head is designed to drop over and bolt to a 6½-inch O.D. steel pipe, the CGX comes ready and willing to serve atop a permanent pier in an amateur’s backyard observatory"
Sounds straightforward?
