There is a used Gibertini 1.25m Metre Aluminium/steel dish listed on eBay, the seller has added an interesting note.
I had the same problem with a Primsat 1.3 Aluminium dish, SSS would not sort it out apart from offering me some rubber to fill the gap : )
It has never performed as it should and now after less than 12 months all the paint has pealed off the bracket, which is why I am looking for a better quality dish.

Lightwieght with good features...
A good, well engineered and finished product with excellent hardware accessories. As a trades person, requiring the maximum performance available from the dish, there was a concern re: the pressing accuracy of the reflector to back plate mating which resulted in a small gap around the middle bolt fixings & when tightened up resulted in mis-shaping the reflector face, shown up by "stringing" . Correcting the above gave a very good performing antenna.
