Hi All
Thought I might update this post with my solution.
I spent about $100 at bunnings for the tripod plus a few bits and bobs (washers & nuts), list below for those who would like to replicate it.

As you can see in the pics the bolt was a little different but I cant see it on their site, but the specs for it work.
It hasn't see first light yet but seems rock solid so far.
Let me know what you think and feel free to ask questions.
Regards
Chris
