Possible Workaround.

Hi Steve,


I've seen a workaround for this type of scenario somewhere before. Someone used a weightlifting dumbell circular weight as the mounting plate and drilled it themselves. Can't remember exactly what the weight was but if you look around the fitness shops etc...You will find that they come with 2 different sized center holes. The smaller hole version fits the EQ6 apparently. They come in various sizes/weight so you can pick the one you think fits the base the best. The weights are normally around 1"-2" thick. Some are made from steel, others cast iron. Steel would be best. Would this work for you do you think? Can the pier take the extra weight as opposed to aluminum? The pier I saw this done to was a little more sturdier I think. Could save you a few bucks in the end.



Regards...
