[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 737119, member: 325666"] Thanks for confirming what I suspected about the elasticity of the material guys.. Its a good few years since I was in school ..and the memory does fog with age. I am thinking of retrofitting the missing series of right angle 'nut plates' which the original owner of the dish thought where unneccessary and neglected to fit .. These plates bond the dish ribs to the outer rim and I don't have a full complement. certainly this would add rigidity to the structure and might have prevented warping as it fell against the wall .. Where to get them any ideas ..? They essentially need to be right angles with a 1.5inch and a 2.5 inch leg . 1.5 inch wide redrilling isn't a problem ..but I need to find a source.. I'm currently scanning Ebay ..for anything which looks suitable.. ..but If anyone spots anything before me please post a link. rgds VS [/QUOTE]
