How to reattach to an old concrete plinth?
I have taken down an old post light that had rusted through and I would like to replace it with a new lamp. To my delight, I found a solid concrete block under the grass that the old lamp was attached to. However, I can't find a new lamp with the same center-to-center measurement on the bolts (about 177 mm), so I thought I would drill new holes. The block is >300mm in diameter and I have a rotary hammer with SDS so power is not a problem, but what kind of plugs/screws/anchors should I use?
Ideally, I would like some adjustable variant, like when you embed threaded rods and place one or two nuts under what is to be fastened so that you can level it vertically.
