how to fix a warped dish?

i have added some iron supports between the dish and mount ring with six strings running across the face of the dish to see which edge is warped, after that pulled the warped edge by iron support and bolt it fixed now the dish is a spun dish

some pictures before and after modify the mount ring

It is similar to Pasat, but nothing like their current range of mounting options

If you can post images of the feed structure it will help.

It is using a similar rear metal structure as DH Antennas had in their designs but the polarmount looks very - East -European (paint /no zinc galvanising and large welds). It is a very functional looking unit though if the reflector can be ironed out.

We can rule DH out. they use flat bar for ring not tubular, arms fixings are holes on dish face, interesting dish
