Advice Needed Visiosat Big Bisat dish?

Well it turns out that one of the bolts that fixes the back mount to the dish is missing. Have contacted Cahor's about it but not heard anything. Anyone know where i can get one or will just three bolts do?

Can you measure one of the bolts that are not missing? The missing one should be the same.

And when you know what kind of bolt you need just go to any shop (like Bricco, Gamma, Home Depot, Depo, Macro or any UK analog) that sells nuts&bolts and buy 2 (in case another one get lost) :rolleyes:
 
The markings on the bolt says BVS 8.8. The entire bolt measures 1 inch. The screw thread is 1.5cm long. screw bit is 7mm in diameter. Will probably have to visit a hardware store to get one. Hoping Cahor will save me the bother. This bolt did not go missing, the bag was sealed. They just didn't add it.
 
Can not be 7mm! It is surely 8mm. Show some picture from 3 screws you got
 
It is not about vision, it is about standards, where we have .....6mm, 8mm, 10mm,12mm...... threads

As RimaNTSS says, it's an 8 mm job. There isn't that much too choose from: 6, 8, 10, 12 etc.
It is really quite simple: pop down to the store of your choice (as outlined), bring one of the other bolts, and compare the length to get the right one.
I get mine from Bauhaus, they come in loose weight so you can literally by one. Don't need 100 pack or anything like that.
And you should get the INOX ones, in case they have several of the same size to choose from.
That's it... Mount the dish.

I will probably take one to the store and ask someone if they have one.
 
Had another look and it seems I may not be missing a bolt after all. There are two kinds of bolt that could fit. The bolt I thought was missing had a sort of square bit that wasn't threaded and another bolt that has a washer attached that I can not seem to remove from. I think it is the later bolt that attaches the mount to the dish, there are four of these bolts.
 
Doesn't seem like Cahor is interested anyway. Had no emails, no post from them. Think they ignored me.

I wish the instruction booklet supplied was clearer.

Am also bored, tired and trying to stay awake as long as possible(been awake nearly 22 hours).
