Here is my obs permanent pier that I constructed nearly a year ago now, with some help I should say!

I used 220 mm OD with 1 inch wall thickness and 1.7m high.
The pier was placed on a cubic meter of concrete with a 12 mm base plate.
A mount adapter plate with 3 support bolts was also fabricated using aluminium for the support plate and saddle plate and S/steel and bronze aluminium for the support bolts with 1mm thread.

Here are some pics:

Wizzy!
