[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 752940, member: 325666"] Hi friends .. The dish has now been up for several months since it was blown down .. This morning I re-strung the dish in situe ..and discovered it to be not quite as perfect as it was when down on the floor and then first re-mounted .. In other words ..it appears to have moved /settled .. The discrepencies are minor ..but since I am always after maximum signal I propose to try and fix this in situe .. Here's what I am considering .. I'm attaching a diagram showing how the dish is mounted to the polar mount back ring at six points .. Currently the L plates are hard up against the mount ring and bolted up .. If I can ascertain which direction the dish is actually out ..and which petals do not perfectly conform .. Maybe it would be possible to slacken off ..one L mount plate at a time ( the relevant ones )..insert a thin plastic or metal packing shim ..and re-tighten the U bolt .. Anyone think this is a bad idea .. Nothing done so far ...at this point no more than an idea.. rgds VS [/QUOTE]
