Message: <blockquote data-quote="Archive4" data-source="post: 969474">Just for the record, it was the only long enough straight edge I had available. When taking the measurements I used a tape measure from the centre of lnb holder through the centre of the laser beam at emission to the back of the pole ensuring the tape passed at the point of the laser dot.I may be a trained monkey, but I am a fully qualified trained monkey, with an " O " level in technical drawing and a " HNC " in telecoms, and sometimes you have to improvise! ( You may also have noticed the bottom edge of the pole was a couple of mm off the dish face to allow for the curvature if the dish below.)Also wish to add all measurements were taken well before " beer o´clock " and although I joked elsewhere on the forum, I don´t do Spanish breakfast, just three mugs of decent strong tea and a couple of cigs! ( Maybe one day Yorkshire will make me a honorary son )</blockquote>
