Hi Robert. Can't you use a spot welder to weld the feet on?
Something like this?

Something like that, yes. Here's what would be good.

Hey Robert, with your skills you could make one like the guy in the YouTube link!
Hope I didn't cause offence? It's probably far more complex than I surmised.
One of the final pieces of the puzzle is now in place. Getting the dial feet to line up has always been tricky. I wanted a very precise jig, and remembered that I had an extra, little frame for a staking set. I used some strong double sided tape to attach the staking frame to the base. (I might use some strong acrylic adhesive, if the double sided tape proves inadequate.) I made a "punch" to hold the wire for the dial feet. The punch is brass with a hardwood insert. The brass provides rigidity, and the hardwood insert, which is nearly sacrificial, gives some electrical and heat insulation for the staking frame. A bit of paper under the dial also provides some electrical insulation. It works really well. :)
Best wishes,
Bob
Wow! Incredible Bob.
Your eye for detail and exactitude is so impressive to a clod like me.
Love reading your stuff.
