You have done well to get the named satellites so far, it should be little trouble fitting the motor and cabling with your expertise, but the best piece of advice I can give is to keep a keen eye on the dish when driving the motor with the cnotrol box, and ONLY MAKE SMALL ADJUSTMENTS NEAR THE ARC LIMITS.

In my earlier days I folded up an IRTE 1.5m dish from believing the control numbers on the display, and spent a good 2 hours trying to straighten it out without the owner knowing what I had done ( but don't tell them).

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness"
