Pulsar 2.2m Base Fixing Kit

[RickH]

I managed to get a relatively cheap second hand one of these.  Can anyone advise me as to what the original fixing bolts/epoxy for the base are?

 

The instructions allude to “Then bolt the base to the concrete using the supplied fixings”.

 

Intend to buy some polyester resin, but any guidance as to the original fixing bolts, or anything of that nature would be appreciated.

 

Many thanks,

 

Rick

I think the resin fixings are intended for the telescope pier, assuming you have a concrete plinth in place, the dome itself can be secured with some concrete bolts of the appropriate size:

What tomato says, those lighting/thunder bolts are perfect.  Though I used M8 x 75 mm for mine with washers, and i feel even that was overkill in concrete.  The fibreglass is going to tear long before the bolts pull out.

Many thanks to both, that’s cleared things up a bit!

Yes, my link wasn’t meant to indicate that you need bolts this beefy, I think the dome walls come with pre drilled fixing holes, use these as a guide for the bolt size.
