Thanks Bogs, ya round column 12" wide at the base, the bolts are 9" apart, if I use a rod 4-1/2" long I should be able to work out what shims to use under the bolts??? or am I wrong. :doh: |

Bernie. I lay a piece of 8" square, 4mm glass on the table. In the drill chuck, I have a dti clock, mounted on an arm. (Piece of bent 1/4" rod will do). This allows the clock to describe an 8" diameter circle on the glass, showing high/ low areas. :thumbup: Simple, when you've done it before....... :D David D |

Thanks David, the only reason for the 4-1/2" was that it is the spacing on the bolts, and if I halve the reading it should tell me what spacing I need, glass is a good solid medium. :thumbup: |

Bernie. Are you saying, "ain't got no clock" ? So, using feelers under the rod? :scratch: David D |
