Molten metal pump

A device for providing an adjustable connection between a molten metal pump post and a motor mount for a molten metal pump, said motor mount having a first post receiving side and a second motor receiving side, the device comprising:

• a side wall defining a receptacle dimensioned to receive the post;
• and
• an upper portion including internal threads adapted to mount to external threads on the first side of the motor mount or a structure that is connected to the first side of the motor mount and allow adjustment of the of the device along a longitudinal axis of the post;
• and
• a fastener having a first end configured to engage the motor mount and a second end configured to engage a cavity in the post.

A device for providing an adjustable connection between a molten metal pump post and a motor mount, the device comprising:

• a side wall defining a receptacle dimensioned to receive the post;
• an upper portion adapted to mount to a bottom surface of the motor mount and allow adjustment of the device in an axial direction defined by a longitudinal axis of the post;
• an internal wall dividing the receptacle from the upper portion, the internal wall including a passage;
• and
• a fastener having a first end configured to engage the motor mount and a second end configured to engage a cavity in the post.
