Now you have drilled a second hole near the original pivot point on the dish side of the polarmount - ala this picture - <a href="http://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/topic/158734-how-much-arc-would-i-gain-approx/page-2#" target="_blank">http://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/topic/158734-how-much-arc-would-i-gain-approx/page-2#</a> - why not make up a triangular plate with three holes and bolt it securely there. If you make it isoceles and get the longer two sides correct, you could mount the actuator backwards on it (gearbox nearest the reflector) and the worm part bolted to the back of the polarmount.</blockquote>
