Post mount??

Does anyone have pics and/or measurements of a post mount for an 8' mill (any model)?

I saw a couple pics of a Star 12 with post mounts and decided I want to do that with mine. I thought I might be getting the original mounts ... but it doesn't look like that will be the case. So, I think I will make something up ... either fab it or draw it up in CAD, print it in plastic and have it cast (or maybe put my big boy panties on and finally do my own iron pour).

There is a post mount at the center in Lubbock. Might check their site for photos. It sets outside.

Ivan, yes. That one as a bit different (post on each side) vs the one I have seen pics of.
Wayne, thanks I will look around their website.

Here are the only two pics that I have. I'm not sure why I didn't post the pics earlier!

Ed would it be possible to fab a steel bracket that wrapped around and bolted to the bed plate with a flat side to bolt to the post and the same with the truing spider?
