Tony Moss described a secure and permanent mounting method using bolts permanently fixed to the underside of the dial. The dial is then set in mortar atop the pedestal, and the bolts become permanently fixed in the mortar. Lord knows how this could be removed later.
Another method involved using a silicone adhesive to fix the dial to the pedestal (no bolts). Use cardboard spacers to ensure an 1/8" gap from the pedestal surface. If it ever needed to be removed, it cold be separated from the pedestal by cutting under the dial with a flexible hacksaw blade. -Bill On Tue, May 16, 2017 at 5:19 PM, rodwall1...@gmail.com < rodwall1...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > In the Ranelagh Estate at Mount Eliza Victoria 3930 Australia.
