You can mount the dish onto the lashing bracket. Don't drill into the chimney. | ||

My System: chaparral montery 40 fully loaded ehcostar ad3600ipvia 3 dishes zone 2 / 1 mt motorized / 2.3 m motorized | you can drill in to the chimney but make sure it is in very good condition first bricks and mortar i have seen where people have fitted dishes on chimney stacks i.e. sky dishes bolted to a couple of bricks and you get a phone call my sky has gone off can you please sort it for me you go round and ask them where there dish is on the stack you are told you look up and ask where all there is is a chimney with a hole in its side where the dish bracket has ripped the bricks out and no sighn of the dish any where saw this once on a 3 story shop in nottingham on a very bussy main road with a 60 cm annalog sky dish hole in the side of the chimney and no sighn of the dish any where never did find it lets face it a sky dish falling from 50 ft with 3 bricks attatched to it very dangeruse if it had landed on some one it would have killed them for sure fairly modern stacks are single brick thats a no no for sertain older chimneys are 9 in brick my chimney is from front to back is 3 ft and from end to end is 8 ft with 5 flues in a row and i have a 1 m motorized dish on it been there for about 20 years but it is on t and k brackets the t bracket is on the chimney in the loft and the k bracket is on the chmney just above the roof with a 6 foot scaffold pole going through the roof with lead collar on it to keep the weather out t and k brackets should be fitted the other way round with the k brack at the bottom as it the k bracket that takes all the weight but didnt have much room but as there is over 6 feet of chimney above the brackets didnt realy matter but still check it every month to be on the safe side | ||
