[QUOTE="lovelyperson, post: 912956, member: 183338"] [ATTACH=full]72564[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]72566[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]72567[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]72568[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]72570[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]72571[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]72572[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]72573[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]72574[/ATTACH] Basically finished the install now and decided to initially align in Ku at 28.2ºE to see the difference in reception ease compared to a 1.4m (fringe here). Coverage will be approx 11.0ºW - 53.0ºE (my other dish covers 63.0ºW - 58.0ºE but located in Cordoba). Base comprises tiled floor, layer of concrete then reinforced concrete (hormigon) giving approx 18cm depth. Fixed with M12 threaded bolt + Taco quimico - giving permanent floor mount! Floor mount had a few rust spots so treated with Antioxidante paint. Rim of dish was scratched in 3 x places, touched up with very old Humbrol 'plastic aircraft' paint! Intend to cover Huevo's suggestion and buy longer bolts for the LNB holder to accomodate the C-band LNB. Very pleased with the install outcome and impressed with the build quality of the Famaval dish and floor mount. Dish/mount/floor stand & quad LNB for €200 euros (approx 160 pounds) + install materials....... a happy bunny! Looking forward to the C-band trials.
