[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 841531, member: 175144"] Whilst the 'T' is not designed to carry weight, if the clamps are tight on both the T and the K, then the downward force of the dish and motor through the pole shared equally by them. Both brackets attempt to convert their share of downward force into a turning force, pulling the upper end of the bracket outwards, and the lowest point of the bracket inwards toward the wall, however the 'K' bracket by virtue of its longer distance from top to bottom is better at reducing a concentrated damaging force, moving it away from the points that attach it to the wall. The actual turning is prevented in the main by the opposing force exerted by the wall on the lower point. [/QUOTE]
