Well, this is certainly new to me... and clever in its simplicity.
So that heavy piece of hex bar is parallel to the column in the front plane and serves as a reference surface to line the new torque arm coming off the head up against? Is that correct? I gotta do that! And filling the column with concrete made a difference, too?
Thank you Dave!
