It seems that the dish is not too difficult to come by . . . but the fixed mount is!

So, if anyone knows where I can get a fixed mount (preferably original), I would be grateful.

Hi Bob, that's just like the one on my 90cm, but the one on the 55cm looks very different (see attached pic).

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like the 55cm has only two mounting screws compared to four on the 90cm.

EDIT: sorry, I'm talking rubbish, there are also four bolts on the 55cm; but will the mount shown in Bob's link fit?

I am allowed to install a larger dish, but the balcony is very small.

I have a Fibo 90cm installed at home and that would be too big for my balcony.

oh,so i small balkony,i could imagine this,can you make picture?
what satelite,you want to receive with fibo?

when,you have free view,and enough distance,to the wall,then,you can set the antenna,also direct on the ground,and must not fix,when this not be allowed?
okay,when nothing works,we will wait until you find a fix mount,but for what satelite,is the antenna?
here most kuband satelites are very strong,i would say,there is not much difrent,depends,on the satelite,if you use now normal 60 cm or fibo 55 cm,when the view is limited,and you want receive nilesat,then fibo 55 cm is better for sure,but all others,you can receive also with 60 cm antenna,here in our location
in uk,is difrent

Just looking at Fibo manual and I think you will find that the mount is the same for both the 55cm and 90cm.
The dimensions for both look exactly the same.
Have a look at this attachment and see what you think
