[QUOTE="archive10, post: 787495"] Not knowing whether you are making your own mount or trying to replace the arms, I have made two different measurements; one is of the actual tubular arms, the other of the distance from reflector to front-of-lnb-holder. Here are the measurements of the Channel Master Type 180 (Rx only) feed-arms on a -6 degree day, as well as can be done without taking the things apart: [B][U]The actual tubular arms[/U][/B] The CM180 has two side arms and a bottom arm. The side arms are straight except for a flattened bit at the reflector end. The flattened bit is bent at an angle compared to the arm. The flattened bit has a hole in it accomodating a screw that attaches it to the reflector. The end portion of the bottom arm is also bent, but not flattened. The bottom arm fits into a plastic bracket, which in turn is screwed to the underside of the reflector. (This is to allow cable to run through the actual tube). The flattened bit of the side-arms are 70 mm, with the hole for attaching to the reflector 10 mm from the end. The round part of the side arms as measured from where the 70 mm stops are 1470 mm long. Both measures are taken in the middle of the (tubular) arm. The bottom arm has a short leg and a long leg. The short leg is about 95 mm measured from the back of the dish (and most likely shorter as the plastic bracket has a stop notch). The long leg is about 1060 mm. All three legs have welded pieces of metal with threading about 5 mm from the LNB holder end. This is for the screws that attaches the LNB holder to the legs. [U][B]LNB distance[/B][/U] The distance from the front edge at the side of the reflector to the center of the front of the LNB holder is 1495 mm. The distance from the front edge at the bottom of the reflector to the center of the front of the LNB holder is 1110 mm. I hope this is usable / useful. [/QUOTE]
