The start of it all...................
Location
The idea I had was to build a pier and mount my HEQ5 on top and eventually a 10 x 7 pent shed built around with a roll-off roof.
This required a few items that were quite difficult to locate:
1. Rebar to strenghting the concrete
2. Tube for forming the concrete pier
3. Mount plate, custom made for the HEQ5
1. Rebar
This was located on a building site and a bunch of friendly contractors allowed me to take 6 x 2m of rebar saving me around £25.
2. Tube for the concrete pier
Same building site also gave me a 9" diameter 6 foot long tube which I shall have around 2 foot set in concrete.
3. Mount plate for HEQ5
Item is currently on order from Dunblane Light Engineering. Costs £40 lets hope it works.
Planning stage
