[QUOTE="aceb, post: 810645, member: 268811"] Sorry Evan, just got in so looks like I'm too late but yes, everything looks OK. It's actually not as the manual shows it (the adjusting brackets at the bottom) but this way works better for the Gibby. I also ditched the metalwork that adjusts the dish offset too, it looks a PITA to set up and is redundant with the Gibby bracket. Some pics of mine, you can see the two sections of extrusion behind the dish, I may even extend these to increase the amount of - value inclination available. When it came to setting it up, I initially set the dish angle up when it was fixed to an already correctly set diseqc motor, just meant I only had to set the H180 main angle and it was very close to tracking correctly. One of the advantages of living within sight of the meridian line means I can also check the motor azimuth by the count from 0 to 45W and 45E, 552 each way FWIW :) [/QUOTE]
