[QUOTE="archive10, post: 931054"] The bracket placement is defo different on the two pics. Nevertheless, the actual position of the bracket shouldn't affect the reception. (It's just the means of holding the dish to the pole). What I think you should be worried about this: If the bracket "pulls in" the reflector - it may be the reflector deforming. If the holes are drilled in the wrong place, so that the bracket is shaped to go on a different part of the paraboloid, then you would likely experience a "mistfit" of the mount and reflector. Difficult to say the effect of this - depends on dish design, degree of misfit etc. I think you should post the two pics to SSS, and ask them if they changed the design of the dish... Edit: In fact, I think the images on SSS site looks different from yours in other ways - notable the feed support arms. They seem to be attached about half-way up your dish, whereas the images on SSS are clearly lower, about 1/3 from the bottom of the dish. The angle of the arms also seems differerent. This may be due to a design changes at the mfg, or even swtiching mfg, SSS should be able to confirm this. I also note that their images for the 1.3 and the 1.1 metre models are the same. Can you confirm that your reflector measures 1.3 meter horizontally on the widest bit? [/QUOTE]
