You would just cut back the old threaded rod to a position it would not be in the way, and order a new longer bit, like this.

Do love that joining nut, felt tip pen! Where is the sticky back plastic! BUT you are right, easy fix!

Lol Brain, it gets you to see what I am talking about, I am rubbish at explaining things but good at doing them ,

The other end is the best way if you have a drill LP. the threaded rod might be a pain to source,

I don´t think that will be a problem, I can think of a few people I would like to extract it from, sorry, I can think of a few places I can get it from!

So can I, but Lp has already mentioned he does not no the size/diameter, if he does it the other way the measurement of the steel needed will be easier for him to locate/order

Not a problem, he lives 10 mins away from me, so I will go and see what it needs, then source it! Although I do like the idea of extracting it from certain people! CO9T´s , I´m sure you get my drift!

Yes I used to like doing things like that when I was a young kid , then I grew up and moved on. I am sure you will get my drift one day ;)

As some of you know time is my enemy at the mo so I am unable to perform many manual things because of constraints so if I have a problem I know that peeps here will assist me with their thoughts and ideas to cure.

As is the case here, the input from yourselves will give me my 'new' bolt.......hurry up that bloody dish is heavy doing it manually.......

I am sure Brian will sort it out LP, I did not realise he was so close to you, its handy to have someone close to hand i am looking forward to seeing what else you can pick up once its modified. keep at it as and when you can pal.

Happy days and two gents on here to especially thank, Brian and Martin.

Brian arrived as promised 10:45:08hrs so the CCTV says , had a rattle, dismantled the old bolt arm and left to sort the job out.
13:48hrs Brian arrives back with the new bolt assembly.....fitted and job done.

Old bolt was 50cm.....new one is 70cm and at 57.0ºE the old bolt was fully out out of the guide!


Asked him permission to post and say a few things on the forum.....no probs 'but please mention Martin as it was his idea.

So both, again a million thanks....not much down time.

Nice guy Brian, he looked after me and I looked after him.

Like many other members threads, peeps helping peeps..........boy am I lucky or what, Easter eggs and threaded bolt on the same day!

 

[Lazarus]

Very mean of you not to mention the Easter Eggs until the very end - can you Fax us some? ;)

LP, while I was extending your length! you asked about finding a new lnb. Please post on " Installing dishes in Spain, chit-chat" I´m sure someone can help you out!

 

[Huevos]

What LNB do you want?

What LNB do you want?

Hi H....hope life is ok with you.

Just thinking about a twin C-Band....not really reasearched yet but would help as I could have a feed to the initial setup location and a secondary to the 'PC/sat' room...save changing the cables all the time!

Thanks to suggestions here I bought my first single feed imported from the U.S. and very pleased with the results.

Best wishes.
