[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1110979, member: 176704"] OH DEAR:-doh- that clamp bracket on the back of the dish looks like those on the dreaded older TRIAX dishes (of which I have 3!), which means that setting the declination will be a right bitch, especially on a motorised dish, where it has to be exactly vertical when the dish points to your most Southerly satellite.! As for the the pole clamp U-bolts: Put the existing one in the empty top postion and another in the empty lower and upper positions - with luck you can find car-exhaust clamp U-bolts for the additional ones, or try on ebay for "square U-bolts" You also need to add similar bolts above and below the existing declination clamping bolt in order to keep the dish vertical, or else it will "slop" from side to side as you try to adjust that.
