[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 845997, member: 325666"] I Like the idea in principle ..but not sure introducing extra linkage points on a dish as big and heavy as Christina would be such a good idea .. Particularly as she already covers 120 degrees of arc and I'm only pushing for 5 degrees more. Problem is that the jack arm would be fully extended at extreme East ..and needs to be as rigid as possible in this position.. ..and I can't brace across the back plate as yours is ..on account there isn't one .. The strength in my case is in the 1/8 inch steel that makes up the mount..and the steel ring where yours uses a backplate.. Great Idea though .. might consider drilling one hole a little closer to the original first ..just to see how much is gained on the arc .. Much easier for me to just drill a couple of holes than construct an ajustable system ..and thus inroduce more links. [/QUOTE]
