If I had known that I would have used them for my install.

I had to drill new holes on my 18" T & K`s, and used threaded bar for U bolts.

Pole is now in place and concreted. So my 1.8m will be installed by the week end.

What do you need?

Why don't you use the 1224 motor with your Andrews? its the best motor you can have as it tracks the whole arc.
