[QUOTE="midwestmac, post: 903138, member: 402839"] Hello I was looking around for an answer to a different problem I had and saw you post, I have a 6ft DH dish that was warped Captain Jacks answer is g reat idea wish I would of thought of that would of saved me some time. I think I just brought mine into the garage and tried to just push the thing in from rim to rim but never could get it perfect. I probably didn't try hard enough. Anyways, I saw your post and what I ended up doing was drilling holes in the rim of my dish and made some small pieces of angle iron, drilled and bolted those to my mount ring. I had some extra "all thread rod" is what I call it and ran it down to the ring of my mount. Then I could tighten or loosen these "rods" were I thought it might need it, with several strings running accross the face of the dish to see which edged was warped On DH satellites website you've probably seen something like these rods on there big dishes, I don't if they're adjustable though. Thats kind of were I got the idea. Here's what it ended up looking like, the "screen" you see on the left was an experiment, I took that off. I hope the pics show up?
