[QUOTE="pjgregory, post: 555261, member: 288654"] Hi Iceman I did put all the pannels back together with the dish in the horizontal position. I then tried putting strings across with the dish horizonal. The problem I found was that I could not get my eyes close enougth to the center to see the cross over point, certainly not with the nylon fishing line that I was using. That is why I tried again with the dish tilted. Tomorrow, I will bring the dish back to the horizontal, put the pannel back in place and try the horizontal strings again. I have since found some 1.3mm yellow nylon strimmer cable which at least I can see. However, with four lines touching in the middle, the height difference would be about 5mm. It this too much? What sort of accuracy should I be looking for? PJG [/QUOTE]
