[QUOTE="guest poster, post: 580295, member: 262401"] I don't expect pure ali is too suitable either - we've used an 'alloy' that is as light and has very hard/ rigid characteristics…. pure ali’ is light & strong but I think too soft for that use and clamps will bite in perhaps too much to hold a 1.8. Their meaning for strength is more as a support.. perhaps welded into a frame etc.. rather than a free standing application that has to be so rigid. ****************** Road signs walls are too thin- 2-3mm (easier to hacksaw at 2 in the mornin' though.- but remember what happened to Cool Hand Luke:-rofl2)... (could fill one with concrete and reinforcing bars):-rofl2 ****************** What size is the mount and what do they recommend... what make is the dish. [/QUOTE]
