I would also be very interested in this information for my MDW and 10"
LX-200.

Just as an FYI, Ken can provide you some of the dimensions for the MDW,
but he does not have a cad/drawing available. However, he has offered
assistance with any questions you may have. Additionally, I believe he
can also manufacture the top/bottom plates for us.

Ken... any pricing on such an item?

Regards,
Russ

Subject: [M]: LX200, permanent pier and the Milburn Wedge

I've recently got myself a Milburn Deluxe Wedge (high latitude)
http://home1.gte.net/kmilburn/page12.html for use with a Mead LX200 8".

My immediate problem is to figure out how to attach the wedge to a
permanent
pier.

My plan is to make the pipe/pier head about 8" in diameter, 1/4" wall
thickness and then cap it with a 1/2" thick head. But I will need to
drill/tap a hole pattern in the top to accept the Milburn wedge. Has
anyone
got a template in say AutoCAD I could use?

I plan to contract the work out, so they'll need clear instructions.
The
plan was to get the 8" diameter cap, have it drilled and tapped, then
welded
to the pipe, then powder coated in black, then I will mount said pier in
tonnes of concrete! But I need to know exactly where the holes should
be
drilled and tapped in the 8" cap. I was hoping someone out there has
already got a template or could otherwise help?
