[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 653654, member: 323322"] I agree with [I]rolfw[/I]. Trying to set up with anything less than 0.5 degree precision is pointless, even if you can achieve it (which the crudeness of the bracketry renders difficult). Let's face it, you'd then need to apply the same precision to every other mechanical aspect ie Pole less than say .05 degrees out of true in any direction, perfect application of torque when tightening clamps (motor to pole, dish to motor stub and dish bracket slider) to avoid torsion, inadvertent skewing or slippage. Bung it up, set motor latitude to within half a degree by eye and take the cumulative mechanical errors out by adjusting the dish bracket. Science is fine, but Engineering is better! [/QUOTE]
