So lunch is over (hic) and back to play, 
again, there is nothing too special about mounting the mounts (sounds like a threesome ;D ) The two things I considered were, aligning the pads with the legs of the lathe and recessing the pads under the stand to prevent a tripping point.
Two down, two to go.
So, holes drilled and quickly filled, mounts installed and then, I found some leftover gasket material and figured what the heck.
Now for reassembly.
Keep things straight.
The lathe was moved back and for the next hour and a bit, picture if you will, a 50 year old guy doin' over 100 deep knee bends to obtain the following.....(I think it was worth it )
So now that I have a 'level' foundation to work from, I imagine I will have to tweak the head alignment again, but that's ok, 'cause my QCTP should be here tomorrow ;D
And there she is, my beckening beauty.
Cheers,
Chazz
P.S. My baby is far more stable and secure than she was before.
