[QUOTE="Alan22, post: 1129052, member: 417507"] That's certainly a sideways step to the norm, in any type of construction I always look at weak points, and the risk if using them, in this case every join produces a weak spot, and as much as it will kill me to redo the connections , at least it's the last time I should ever need to touch them again, I have used the drop down shield type LNB's, so as you say it does offer protection, the only question is how much, which is an individual case due to peoples locations and placement of their kit, as some are more shielded than others by their surroundings, in my case it gets a massive amount of exposure from the sun all day long, so thermal movement is guaranteed to happen, and to the extreme as we have gone through 3 front doors as the sun has warped them, but Thanks for the suggestion, I'm sure it would work for many people, but the con's outweigh the pro's in my case. :cool: [/QUOTE]
