Geotrack SG-100 unfamilar mounting adapter

I've stumbled upon a 36V Geotrack SG-100 motor in a car boot, but the bracket to mount the dish is not the usual 'bent rod', but a couple of 'T'bars' - see attached photo. Can anyone suggest if brackets can be purchased to adapt this mount for a dish? Or maybe where I can get the more familiar type of mounting adapter for the motor?

I've been giving it a clean up, and attached a photo of the insides in case anyone was interested.

And I also managed to get hold a 1m dish, can anyone identify it so I can try and get some idea of its gain and beamwidth? Its 100cm top to bottom, and 94cm wide and made of steel. I'm giving it a sand down and bit of Jenolite to keep the rust at bay at the moment - hence the bare metal.

many thanks

My System: TM6800HD, TM1000, TM600 Linux,TM5200, TM2200 motor, Triax TD110 dish + Fortec 85cm. Meter=Satlook Micro+G2 NIT

It's a 1m ish dish, thus the beamwidth will be about 2 degrees, gain about 39-40dB.

You may be able to make adapters for yourself, I've used galvanised angle in the past for that sort of thing. (chopped up T brackets., often have spare T's)
