[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 741609, member: 325666"] Hi friends .. Its raining out ..but only light rain ..so been out fitting the new Jack/Arm Settled for a more substantial Geotrack 12 inch .. Ex display model ..that my local sat shop had in stock .. It was the only one they had in ..so got it for a reduced price ..as technically ..it was a used item .. ;) Took CH's advice and mounted it the other way up so that rain would not run backwards toward the motor .. I now have better control and 'feel' the arm is under less tension at this angle .. also the arm travel is more gradual ..and appears to give finer control over a larger spread of movement. I've set the upper and lower (E/W) Limits ...and currently I can get approx about 20 degrees of movement ..so roughly 10 degree either side of optimum position. Pics included showing the install ..and the limits .. .. I'll have to touch up the paintwork on a nice warm day ...but currently my fingers are so cold I'm having a job typing this ... Also included a picture of the completed and installed weatherproof Control box .. Again this needs to be made more secure ... ..but not today ...I'm too cold now .. That rain is almost sleet its so cold. rgds all VS [/QUOTE]
