So, if you undo the screws holding the bottom plate into the extension, can it be completely separated? If so, if the bottom plate is a bigger diameter than the pole (and possibly even if it isn't) you could weld the bottom plate to your pole to make the pier, or replace the bottom plate with another one that us welded to the pole (thus allowing you to sell the extension later if you want)?

Am I on the right track or still missing something?

Al.
sort of right, allows for a bit of flexibility later, if I decide to resurrect the lx200 drive and wedge, I was only going to bolt the adapter plate to the baseplate rather than weld it, in case I wish to sell it later but I might just think about welding it now you metion it
