[QUOTE="nelson_b, post: 752495, member: 296628"] ok - a new plate made today this one differs from the last one - in that it is 9 mm thick not 8 and has a different surface pattern but seems to be made of the same material i made it the full width of the feed this time and and cut 23mm off the bottom of the T to compensate for the 23mm i was having to withdraw the other one to peak the signal -- so it now sits up against the feed -rings -- and does not go all the way down the l.n.b. throat. and as i hoped has not lost any signal from doing this -- the length of the material ouside the feed is the same as the last one -- i started with it longer but had a poorer signal so cut it back performance wise its exactly the same as the one i made before - but fits much better in the feed - and is in one piece this time -- l.o.l. i,m glad i finaly got round to experimenting properly with this type of plate -- its giving me the best results i,v had up to now , with my Cband setup.:) regards nelson.b.
