This is going to sound like a stupid newbie question i know, but I've looked round for the answer both here and elsewhere on the net with no luck.
This is hard to explain and it's too dark to take a picture... but how does the actuator fit to the polar mount ? I mean I know it bolts to the holes provided, but which way?
Not explaining this well sorry!! Looking from the top of the pole downward the polar mount is kind of 'T' Shaped. Part that the actuator attaches to the holes on either the left or the right of the top of this "T" (near where the dish mounts). The other end attaches to a metal plate, and the plate can be reversed to fit on either the left or right hand side. My plate is currently fitted to the right hand side... so do I connect it staight up to the hole on the right.... or across diagonally to the hole on the left ?? Does it matter? Anything to be gained/lost by changing it.
I've also noticed the actuator 'flaps about a bit' particularly at the extremes of movement. It's held on by ball joints so I suppose it's supposed to do that ?
Any ideas guys? (and girls?)
