Good news on the brackets!! As I couldn't source any, I am soaking them in pure white vinegar and this morning a lot of rust has come off. When they are done, paint them with black hammerite (not the nut threads) and that should make them last lots longer. Oh, the things you have to do sometimes!!

The good news is the white vinegar worked wonders. Just 48 hours soaking and then using a rotating wire wheel, it made them look like new. Amazing!!!!!!

OpenBox X5 on a 1 meter motorized dish.
And now a 10 foot "C" band dish.

Deep in the Boonies in the central Sierra Nevada mountains of California.
Now look up on how to do some home nickel plating, it's not that hard, and would make those parts last ten times longer.

I can say right now, that shed is very strong!!! It was built from scratch back in 2018!
