[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 737813, member: 325666"] Hi friends .. The last layer of concrete has gone in ...and whilst I'm waiting for it to set ..which will take several days.. Work has begun on stripping and refurbishing the polar mount .. So ...I'm on the scrounge again ..if anyone can help me ..? If not I'll have to try and make the missing brackets from scratch .. Basically there should have been 6 x U bolt support brackets to hold the dish to the polar mount .. As with the missing right angle rim brackets ..there are only 3 .. The items were missing when the dish was purchsed 2nd hand ..all those years ago. I've included a modified photo of the brackets (steel) ...to show dimensions. Nelson informs me that car exhaust U bolts will do the job.. as ..all dish 'furnishings' are imperial (pre metric) ..and so difficult to obtain.. The brackets are another matter.. Work on the dish has finished for today ..as I have my 6 week hospital appt/checkup this afternoon ..which I know will take hours .. rgds 2 all VS [/QUOTE]
