[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1097076, member: 176704"] Sorry - had forgotten that "important aspect", but, TBH, I am still not totally convinced that that is a genuine Triax clamp. Nevertheless, it looks as if you may need to mod it by removing some of those ribs. OTOH, I have 3x Triax dishes with Black LNB holders/clamps from various sources, and of various ages (but none less than about 5-6 yrs old), and - even with cheap, possbly "clone", replacement LNB holder/clamp kits from ebay - I've never encountered that problem because they all have a bolt + nut through the "neck", between the LNB and the bottom end. You had just had to do that up moderately tightly to pull the two halves of the clamp together before pushing it into the end of the dish arm (that can be a little awkward because of the little "lugs" on either side which eventually pop out of square holes in the arm). Your posted images don't show the sides of the clamp - so does it have recessed holes on both sides through which you can fit a bolt + nut like that? PS: From a quick look at the Triax site, it looks like the older ranges of dishes use the same sort of Black clamps as mine, whereas some of the newer ones have the grey clamps that fit on the outside of the arms, rather than being pushed into the ends thereof.
