[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 625118, member: 325666"] ...Hi m8's A progress report on my refurb.. By careful manipulation of the Pauxis I've so far had signals from 1 West 5 West 27 West and 40 West ...my main problem is that I've removed the origional LNB mount boss from the tripod ...as its too narrow to use with the Pauxis... ..or indeed any c band fitting. To that end I've cut a new mount boss out of 3mm thick aluminium .. So far its nothing more than a flat 3 legged spider with an lnb sized hole at the centre..and will require some bending and shaping to fit it. My tripod is made of solid carbon fibre 15mm round rods which just clamp to the origional boss with mini u-bolts ...and theres no facility to screw anything at the focal point ends. Luckily ..with the rods being 15mm ...some 15mm copper water pipe clips should provide a solution. .. my friends think I'm mental to go to all this trouble ..but what can you do if your unidentifiable 20+ year old dish needs parts .. ...well you just gotta make 'em. c'est la vie VS [/QUOTE]
