As far as the mount goe's, it's relatively simple, I should mention because I'm in...or was in the steel game, I did it all myself, the steel....I got CHEAP!! & naturally I didn't include my labour in the costing. All up It cost $300 odd. The most expensive parts were the bearings on the RA axis & the main pedestal.. If your paying your mate to make it, it's gonna cost a lot more than that! But thats still cheaper than buying something like this new. Even though my mount is BIG....it's not got a lot of mass. In hind-sight, I would have beefed it up a bit more....only for driving purposes though. It works great as a push-to... I'll explain more in the plans that I send you. Better give me about a week & I'll have some specs for you. I can either submit the plans on here or email...your choice.
