I thought you got sorted out with a 90cm Precision dish from "CH" in the topic linked to below?
Unless you are prepared to travel a reasonable distance to collect, I think the chances of finding a 90cm Precision dish local to you might be slim?

Wanted - Precision dish polar mount lnb

Rare opportunity to get hold of a new Precision 90cm dish.
Mr James should be all over this unless he is not prepared to travel to collect?

Reflector only, unless he hacks up the second for parts.

He said he was happy to take on a dish that needed restoring.
Perhaps it is a bridge to far for him to cope with the kit that is missing from a full motorised setup?

It should not be difficult to create an adapter plate that could get the dish mounted on a DiSEqC motor. It is after all only a small dish and should be OK on a DiSEqC motor.
It might be possible to source the missing Precision feed and C120 interface elsewhere? Or he could use that CM feed he has with a feed clamp, reduced perofmance in my opinion if using the CM feed though.
The feed support arms can be made up from threaded rod, even sleeved in some aluminium tubing for appearance sake.

Just cut the feed arms to length for the 90cm and fit the polarmount with a bundle of spacers.
Keep the larger reflector back to bolt on when things get boring.

If the facebook setup is not suitable then I doubt if the OP will be successful in sourcing a Precision PF setup to suit his needs.

@Chris James - just get them both - surely the 1.3m is better than a 90cm! why limit yourself.

Agreed..the 1.3 precision I have here is a belter. I indeed used the arms and feed off my 1.2..as both of my 1.3's came without them.

Agreed, the facebook pair look to be nice dishes.
It is now or never, surely we are not destined to walk this path on a third "Looking for......" topic?
