[QUOTE="Llew, post: 990735, member: 175007"] Not sure why I put the bottom of the strut in the off-centre hole. I know I needed that arrangement to obtain a perfectly vertical dish alignment. I've forgotten how I had it positioned when I first mated the mount with the Gibby. It's certainly tracking the arc correctly now. Notice how the tilt plate 18 is used to obtain declination according to your latitude. It won't be enough for the Gibby because of the offset differences between the SMW and Gibby dish, so shims will need to be inserted between the bottom bracket and dish. Any other dishes' offset will also have to be taken into consideration. Unless you can find a better way of adjusting the declination? [/QUOTE]
