If vertical cylindrical, straddle the bolts on the major axes.
If horizontal,
Use steel/steel slide plates if the concrete pedestal or column supports will not take bending load from friction due to saddle movement from vessel thermal expansion, due to ambient temperatures and/or operating temperature.
If expansion frictional load is still too great, use teflon slide plates.
Oversize top slide plate by horizontal expansion distance to keep dirt from accumulating on lower plate.
Both,
Use AB sleeves if AB is > 3/4"
