Not much to report, just an update on the progress. Found in the box another motor which has more or less same pipe diameter that future motor will have. Pipe is 55mm. Made a construction of 3 metal (not INOX) angles, and motor pipe will be tighten to it by 2 pipe clamps.

Have finished mount-design. To be able to freely move antenna H-H I removed gear-box from the motor. What I know for sure, the motor will not have any problems moving antenna from the end positions and this is because turning axis line goes via center of gravity of the dish. Wind load is completely another question, but manual of the motor says it can hold dishes up to 1.4m. Will try to catch some signals over the weekend (if the new owner of this antenna will not show up earlier).
