[QUOTE="johnsattuk, post: 361141, member: 183150"] Hi I have a Fibo 90 and also a Fibo 120 on a 1224 motor with V-Box. :) I am a fan of the Fibo mounts and have modded them and the motors quite a bit, including a reed switch mod. :confused: I do not think that it would be a good idea to mount a 1.2mtr dish on the 90cm Fibo mount, I don't think that the diecastings would be up to it. The 120cm Fibo mount is much more substantial and uses steel adaptor plates to hang the dish on. It does use the same drive motor, but the internal gear on the mount is a larger dia. and a bit more substantial. If you do want to keep the Fibo layout, I do have an unused 120cm mount, minus the steel plates, but you would probably have to make some to suit the CM120 anyway. [/QUOTE]
