I mounted mine on a piece of 3'x3' 3/4" plywood with 5/8" (believe) stove 
bolts. Mount the stove bolts from the bottom of the plywood, through the 
holes in the tire changer mount. Torqued the nuts down a little and the bolt 
heads become counter sunk a bit, flush with the surface of the plywood. You 
stand on the plywood when torquing on the tire/changer and it doesn't move. 
Easily disassembles for storage.
Has served my well for several years
