It's going on an 8 1/4" pipe pier. Thanks in advance, fitts Post Extras:       AlanT professor emeritus Reged: 08/20/07 Loc: 122º36' W, 47º37' N, WA USA Re: Pier top dimensions for CGE 925 XLT? [Re: fitts]       #3184009 - 06/26/09 12:59 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Is the orange piece on this link the biscuit you're referring to: http://www.durangoskies.com/cge-adapter-p-2097.html I bought and use one of these. I think it's actually a replacement part for the bottom of the head, but it does the job. As I recall the important dimensions are: -- The diameter that fits inside the electronics pier is 5.5" -- The thickness of the section that fits inside the pier is 1" (the piece shown in the link above is 1-3/4" thk total). -- The bolt holes are 3/8"-16 positioned 1/2" off the base where the e-pier sits.
