[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 840582, member: 323322"] Having just started the Springtime Dish Project Season with bringing back into service my Motorised TD110 on Patio Mount, my enthusiasm got the better off me and I've also been looking at the condition of my T & K Mounted Motorised 80cm Dish. The good news is that it remains solid and stable, but the not so good news is that the Motor Bracket (Motek SG2100) and clamps/fasteners are all showing advanced signs of corrosion. I have slapped on a couple of coats of Kurust but I'd be surprised if the corrosion doesn't lead to a failure in the next couple of years. Not a big issue for me as the dish is accessible if I get onto my Boiler House roof, but it does beg the question as to whether folk with rather less accessible systems ever inspect them closely for signs of mechanical degradation ? I also find it surprising that bracketry intended for use in exposed conditions should use such poorly protected materials. [/QUOTE]
