[QUOTE="RimaNTSS, post: 1132417, member: 312276"] For sure, if I was doing that today, I would try to avoid overcomplicating things (I have this tendency sometimes :-doh ). For sure, I would use original feedarm mounting holes on the surface of the dish (including the central one at the bottom of the dish). CM 1,2m is relatively small dish and adding much weight near the focal point is not a superb idea, therefore the motor is better to be placed at the bottom of the dish. In addition, it is better to choose the smallest motor available. For sure, I would use INOX materials, that is my personal preference. Anyway, it is good project of you. Most likely, you will redo some things afterwards, but that is normal learning by doing process. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
