[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 988669, member: 176704"] @LL A further thought about the mast itself - could you add a 2nd length of mast tubing bracketed to the mainmast but mounted behind the dish, close to the top T&K and bridging it, with clamps above and below the latter? The brackets could consist 2 of the same U-bolt fixings as used with the T&K on each mast tube, and with these joined by a stiff piece of steel with holes drilled at the appropriate points - you can find that sort of stuff in the building materials sections of most B&Qs. That would make a much stiffer parallelogram structure and (probably) stop the upper part of the main tubing moving (much). PS: the close-up of the clamp shown in your first post looks very like a good old vehicle exhaust clamp! You can buy these from many places like exhaust-fitting outlets and factors like ECP and GSF!
