[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 736358, member: 325666"] Well ...I'm not gonna get too excited until I actually have the pole in my possession ..but it does look promising m8.. As to the dish itself .. I'm going to try and remove the mount including the back ring in one lump .. That way I don't have to adjust polar offset again .. When refitting the dish to the ring Im going to remove the side elevation bolts and tip the mount backwards until it points straight up .. That way the dish can be centralised and locked into place with new U bolts ...assuming I can get hold of some ,,, They are well and truly rusted up ..and I suspect I may have to cut them loose with an angle grinder.. Im also going for a full realignment of the dish petals ..in view of the fact I suspect at least one has been bent a bit out of shape .. I've cleared enough space to rebuild it in the room next to the kitchen .. a Nice flat laminate floor to work on .. I'd like to replace all the nuts and bolts holding the petals together as these are also rusted .. Now I need to find a good old fashioned Ironmonger ;) cheers Nelson.. Its a big job ..and its going to take a while ...but hopefully I'll be up and running later this year .. rgds VS [/QUOTE]
