My Location
Mullingar, Ireland
After trying all over my garden with a smaller dish i cant get most of the lower sats like 42e,39e and some of higher ones like 1w because of the house next door blocking the line of sight, my only other option is to mount the dish on the side of the house, where my existing dish is, I wanted it on ground level.

I was going to use an L bracket which i have seen used loads of times with 1.2 cm's, especially bookies here who use them a lot.
Here is a pic of one, does anyone know if this is suitable for the 1.2cm, as this is a bit different.
The ones i seen before were the same only there were extra metal bits wealded at the base.

Also forgot to mention i am motorizing this dish and there will be a cm polar mount attached.

That will be very heavy. Not something I'd personally recommend but it'll need to be at least 60mm will two supports. Have you considered using spider brackets?

Its 75mm tube.
What are spider brackets, havent seen them.
 
Those mounts in the picture are fine if its got the 2 support bars to attach to the mount.

I have a channel master mount as a spare which is similar to what you've seen at the betting shops, see if you can get hold of one of them.

I put up an L bracket last week, this one >> ebay 390395982109

Today I took it down as with motor + dish it wouldn't remain perfectly straight, so only able to track some of the arc, this bracket was only using 50mm tubing though.
Back to T&K Brackets tomorrow
