Do gibertini make a 60mm lnb holder for a c-band lnb?

As I am using the gibertini rail at the moment with no problems, but I can't seem to find any clamps.

They are all for a 40mm feed
 
I doubt you will find anything like that, and if you do it will be Heath-Robinson. Better off making something yourself.

I am using two Stab Motor brackets (probably other motor Brackets will do - SG-2100s) plus two studs. Do the job perfectly

Chris, don't you already have two C band LNBs side-by-side?

Yes I do. But not 100% happy with it as one of the lnb's move slightly.

Plus I had seen some on a straight bar instead of the curved one, and wondered if I could squeeze any more Db out of them.
 
Did you experiment with the depth? My C-band lnb's needed to be further from the dish than that for max signal.

Made very little difference, if any, to be honest

because my lnb's were further from the dish it was possible to get closer together without blocking the ku lnb. Offset about 2.5 degrees. I'll post a picture later.
 
Here's a picture.

Took some cobwebbed pictures today... the scalar ring is on 43 mark - haven't really played with this to know the difference.

What settings are the scaler rings? And what size dish is it?

Mine are set to 28 to continue the same cone. The LNB should be pushed through enough to form a 4th concentric ring the same height as the other three. If you take the cover off a Ku LNB you'll see what I mean. But mine are a slightly different design with a deeper back so yours will be set to a different depth. The important thing is the LNB is pushed through to the same depth as the previous scalar ring, so you have four matching rings.

Thank you for that I will go and have a play with them. ;-)
