[QUOTE="subman, post: 1089547, member: 206094"] Thanks for the Feed back[B] Jeallen01[/B] Well the O ring and screw kit has not yet arrived from SMW but I will look at all the options as the last thing I want is water getting into the waveguide .But like you say just add a very small amount of Non-Acidic silicone sealant same stuff I use on my andrew plugs when I cant use self amalgamating tape . As far as making a hood to go over the LNB thats one more thing to think about held in place by tie wraps . Or If companys were not in lock down just get a small local engineering comany to cut a small round groove in thev elbow and slip a O ring in that way . Or Try and remove the old elbow from the old corotor . Or Just bolt the LNB straight onto the corotor since it has a O ring on the LNB side .The problem doing this is you would have to drill out the thread on the corotor flange then install your 4 bolts . 2 of the bolts you have access but the 2 others may need to be cut down a few mm or install 4m studs then add nuts to the exposed studs on the bottom of the corotor flange .
