Arrow EQ Mount - FINALLY FINISHED!!!!

I have been flat out at it all day, but I am pleased to say . . .

IT'S FINISHED!!!!!

I started at about 10:00 am this morning and just finished at 9:43pm tonight!
I am exhausted.

After I have a sit down, a cold drink and a bit of a rest (mind more than body) I am going back out, plug it in and give it its first run.

I am pleased with how everything fit together perfectly and the paint, brass and chrome all look terrific together. I will take a daytime shot tomorrow.
I placed the whole unit on concrete footings to make it stable in the soft ground (that took 4 hours alone) and it doesn't move a whisker! The whole unit is so heavy it is very hard to move it on purpose!!!

Another 20 minutes and I'm off to test it at tracking.

Anyway, here are the pics.

Pic 1: Start of assembly and the digging out.
Pic 2: The footings in.
Pic 3: Completed - Lot's of Brass and Chrome.
Pic 4: The whole completed unit.
