The drawing I posted is for EQ6 equatorial mount.. So all adjustments are part of the mount.
Long time ago I built a pier with plastic tubing filled with concrete, and 3 bolts protruding out of it on top, which I used for adjustments. I will post the image if I can find it..
OK, here it is..
The shed was on wheels and tracks... the whole thing was movable by 2~3 metres, to expose the scope on mount (10" Newt)

3 holes are for fixing onto pier. At least this is what I will use them for (when I build it in my front yard.. when the trees around are high enough to shade the streets lights from 3 sides...)
Azimuth adjustment is part of EQ6 mount mechanism.
