M10 Sleeve Anchor VS M10 Throughbolt VS Resin For brick

There is more than one, I have some mounts in the lock up that would be suitable if the corner was not the perfect slot (one piece triangular section with a square base, welded to a 3 inch mast), though in your situation you might be better off with one of the original Channel Master flexi mount designs.

I have something similar in painted steel (and 2" mast) but these require turning on the main support axis for a corner fit.

My first ever dish was on a mount like that. Nearly 30 years ago, I can see how that would work on a corner, slight modification to the lower bracket as you say.

Just made a video, put the dish up again temporarily, sweeping the arc 65E-65W, then at the end I park on Thor 0.8W
Looking at the dish now I don't think it matters what side the pole will go on the T&K as it will still clear the wall going 65E, ideally I want to get it as close to the wall as possible as it just sticks out.

Excuse the mess, that is an area to keep wheelie bins and recycling bins, it seems someone has put there own crap in there which I need to take down the tip!

Nice. I daresay, looking at 65E dish position, even putting the mount on the other side of the wall will get you maximum coverage.

Putting it on the other wall limits me to 45W unless I use really long T&K like 30"+, If I can get it tucked up against the W wall its less exposed I think.
Are there any plugins for E2 or settings on boxes to send it to 0 on power off?

After "all that", it looks like the KISS principle applies! Pity you can't just add a bracing strut from the wall to just below the motor clamp on the wall bracket - but probably not when taking into account the "two drunks high" caveat!

Well I knew that bracket worked, but originally intended it to go on the E Wall, it just sticks out too much on the W wall so might as well do it properly and stick T&K's up, so this won't be staying there.

If I still had my welders I'd have the angle grinder out, shorten it and put a leg there lol.

Just need to find a scaffold pole somewhere now!

 

[jeallen01]

Unless you need an actual scaffolding pole, you might find a suitable pole at Tradeworks

I'm going to use a bit of ally scaffold pole if I can, I bought a 6m length before but the delivery cost more than the pole!
Thanks for the link, will have a look.

They don't look strong enough for a motorised satellite system. At the very least put a steel (ferritey) scaffold pole in between them

Guess what I have, my friend just gave me a 5ft Ferritey scaffold pole! That wont flex

 

[Captain Jack]

Leave a nice distance between the brackets for extra stability.

 

[RustySpoons]

Trouble is, its effing heavy!
Another friend has offered me 3ft of Ally Scaffold pole, that doesn't bend either.

I did a similar project a few years back and it's still fine never had to adjust anything since the day I put it up.

*UPDATE*

I haven't fallen off a ladder, been waiting for the rain to stop as both my Hammer Drill and SDS are electric.
However I've been getting a bit annoyed with plugging them in and I binned my Lidl Special cordless drill the other week (Gearbox grease overheated) and thought you know what let's go and buy a cordless drill, so I went out and bought a DeWALT DCD796P 18v 5ah, I thought a drill was a drill tbh, however I am blown away with this, I normally cheap out on power tools for some reason? But yet I will not bat an eyelid buying a £500 soldering iron, go figure!

Well all I can say is, the issues I had previously were down to 2 crap drills!
This went through my brick like butter and drilled perfect holes, even though its just a Combi not a SDS

I've got my T&K up and have a few poles to mess around with, used 10mm threaded bar and resin/mortar again.
Those I put in previously would not come out of the wall, I ended up grinding them off, I'm completely sold on these chemical fixings now.

 

[Captain Jack]

You forgot the dish.

Not cutting any corners, will let those threads set over night before I load it up with the dish

I trust you are putting the motor between the two brackets.

Probably, I've got a few lengths of pole so looking at options.

Plan is dish between brackets, and a ADB-S on top.

 

[RustySpoons]

It's up! I used the shorter pole I have here.
Put it up a bit higher as I didn't want drunks (Not that I've seen one) or kids messing with it, it also looks a lot smaller now its high up!
Sat down after all this and it chucked it down with rain, talk about timing.

Will go back out to run the coax in a bit.
Here's a video of it sweeping the Arc approx 70-70
