[QUOTE="sonnetpete, post: 860939, member: 310216"] Ok, personally I'd go for a four position bar, which would allow for expansion at a later date. Here's a close up of the bar... [ATTACH]59451[/ATTACH] As you can see, the bar can be mounted offset so there will be more room at one side. By slackening the mounting allen screws you can achieve an amount of slant to follow the arc. You should be ok with those spacings but although the LNB holders are really well engineered, if you have them touching it works out to roughly a 3 degree spacing. Have you no meter to check for best skew? You can guess and be more or less on but it's more important the further away from dish focus the LNB is, as it's performance is compromised. Get your additional LNB's peaked up and in postion first, worry about exact skew after. You can get additional bars and LNB holders from HM-Sat in Germany.. [/QUOTE]
