1. Mounting structure for mounting a tank of a dead tank circuit breaker to support structure, the tank having a flange extending from a body thereof, the support structure having bolt holes for receiving bolts, the mounting structure comprising: at least a pair of first bores extending into the flange in a first direction, at least a pair of second bores, each second bore extending into the flange in a direction generally transverse with respect to an associated first bore so that each second bore communicates with the associated first bore, a pin disposed in each of the second bores of the pair of second bores, each pin having a threaded pin bore that aligns axially with the associated first bore, and a bolt disposed through an associated bolt hole of the support structure, in an associated first bore, and in threaded engagement with the threaded pin bore of an associated pin so as to secure the tank to the support structure, wherein the mounting structure is in combination with the tank and flange, and wherein the flange has first, second, and third planar mounting surfaces, with the first, second and third planar mounting surfaces being non-coplanar with respect to each other so that one of the first, second or third planar mounting surfaces engages a planar surface of the support structure when the tank is secured to the support structure in one of three different mounting positions.
