[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 841447, member: 175144"] It all depends on the wall, and where the dish/motor eventually sits, though if the dish is going above the roofline I would always put the K at the top regardless. For a 'dish inbetween brackets' scenario it shouldn't matter which way round they go, but a K at the bottom adds some additional distance between the two furthest mounting points (though the K at the top makes the system condensed and imo looks neater) There are threads elsewhere on the forum on this, but in all of them the 'K at the bottom because of the weight' argument is a non-starter as gravity works vertically down (round here anyway), and so the two brakets share this equally. On most installations I put the 'K' at the top, simply because the courses up there will have less weight holding them together. On many modern house builds - and older ones where the mortar is almost all sand - I have found that it will break up during drilling which doesn't bode well for long term stability. Anyone that has drilled into an olde chimney will know what can happen. [/QUOTE]
