[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 89379, member: 175144"] Thats not balanced, or indeed fitted with much degree of longevity. The three attachment points are far too close to each other, causing a very strong lever force which will make mincemeat of the brickwork. Using standard bolts on a chimney means the first high wind is going to start pulling bricks, especially with the pointing in that condition. There should at the very least be a chimney lashing round the chimney and extended to include the top V supports , just to keep the system from oscillating The top of the dish protrudes over the ridge, probably as there is no other place to get full arc, but the weakest point ( and the one likely to suffer premature wear) is going to be the main planet gear of the motor. You need a much stronger system to withstand the British weather on that size of dish [/QUOTE]
