[QUOTE="nelson_b, post: 741884, member: 296628"] hi - forty - i can post some more detailed pictures if you wish ? - but basicly its just cut from a piece of perforated angle iron -( you could use plain ) - with some extra holes in the corner - for holding the side arms , and a spacer under the centre support arm -- to lower the bracket a little - - the important thing is to make sure you end up with the bottom support arm , at the same / original angle -- and the l.n.b. position at the same height / position as the K/U original was -- but a 1 metre dish will not get very much in C band -- only the very strongest signals from 2 or 3 sats -- are there any - channels / sats - in particular that you are wanting to receive? its quite a bit of work for a quite a small number of channels -a 1. 5 metre dish upwards is needed to be honest ---- regards nelson.b. @ satcom1 the k/u part of the d.m.x. has never been better than poor - on every setup/config i,v tried including spacer/ positioning -- l.o.l.
