[QUOTE="femto, post: 281587, member: 198355"] Yes the countryside isn't too shoddy. I live just south of the Yorkshire Dales and the Easterly view shows Baildon Moor, next to Ilkley Moor, What I'm going to do is put the pole up first, then add the extra bracket as then I won't need to measure anything. When these brackets went up originally, I used a plumb line to ensure one was directly above the other. It doesn't matter that the T bracket is that low really, as the pole goes all the way to the ground! If the pole stopped at the T bracket, I imagine I'd have several huge chunks missing from my head! :-rofl2 EDIT: Right. I've put the pole up to show you all. Is it too tall? If so, I can cut some off the bottom and slide it down through the clamps. I'm going to mount the dish in this way: 1. Polar mount on pole 2. Push up above gutter line 3. Dish face on polarmount 4. Jack on polarmount 5. Line up to the arc. Is that the easiest way - other than watching someone else do it?! [/QUOTE]
