My previous setup had the LNB connectors up so the cables crossed the focal beam. Also not advisable considereing water ingress. So I swapped it today. Unfortunately its a tight fit for the connectors, cutting 5mm off the twist on connectors could be an idea. Or using a single lnb instead of a double that has connector higher up. Results are superb, 70% quality on BBC instead of 40% in heavy rain. Good improvement! Hopefully I have some weather reserve now for the winter. The LNB neck was cut and spliced using glue and some two component putty. Ended up as a messy job because I glued the bracket 90 deg wrong first...
So glue all over... used Tec7.
Looks a bit messy but dish is hidden behind the house anyhow. Think I will leave it for now. I would have loved to use a lathe to make a proper adapter though... I have also made a bracket to use a standard LNB, but using the original funnel I got outstanding results.
