4, Base disc:
The base disc that arm will be welded to I plan to also function as an Azimuth adjuster
(for some strange reason the SketchUp tool didn't let me draw rounded corners of the holes).
The elongated holes let the azimuth angle be adjusted +/- 5 degrees.
Even the Latitude angle can be fine adjusted with the bolts that holds the disc to the pier.
