Wanted: 23mm to 40mm LNB spacer

[Captain Jack]

Hi,

I bought a Channel Master feedhorn for use with my CM dish - however, it didn't come with an adapter ring to go from 40mm LNB neck to a 23mm one that's on the feedhorn. Any ideas where I can buy one in UK? Or maybe someone has one lying around they don't want?

Thanks
Alex

I think I have one from when I bought my TD110.

Wait a bit while I rummage through my spares box!

 

[Lazarus]

Ok. found it - it looks as if it should happily fit any 40mm collar as it's got a lateral slit in it to allow for adjustment and compression.

PM me your address and I'll pop it in a Jiffy Bag for you.

That is pretty easy to make some spacers from plastic pipes. Costs - nothing 2

 

[Lazarus]

It won't cost him anything to sit and wait for mine!

Time is also money :-shifty , perhaps Captain have plans to work on his antenna during weekend.

 

[Lazarus]

It''ll be in the Post this afternoon and even our Royal Mail might manage to get it there by Saturday

I have heard sometimes you call your mail..... Snail Mail :-roller

Yes indeed: Royal Snail or Parcel Farce!

But the critical path is lack of CJ's address: The Adapter is already in a Jiffy Bag waiting to go ....................

Tivu! You left not chances for Captain's DIY job O-no

 

[Lazarus]

Ha ha! Ten gets one he'll have a go at making one anyway.

The pukka one is no use to me - I've had it five years and it has never been used. Someone else may as well have the benefit.

 

[Captain Jack]

Ha! Won't be doing work on the dish for at least another month, so no hurry. I am not a huge fan of DIY stuff, mainly because I am absolutely useless at it!

Tivu, many thanks for your kind offer! I'll PM you the address now.

 

[Lazarus]

Ok.

It's gripped; It's sorted.



Can you Post here when it arrives, then I'll close the Thread.

That is not a 40/23mm converter. Look at my pictures and you will see they are completely different. The internal diameter of the CM item is bigger than 23mm and has a register for correct placement.

 

[Captain Jack]

Yeah, I know they are slightly different but it's more than good enough and allows for some degree of adjustment.

I have the original CM versions here (and I owe you/your granny something )

 

[Lazarus]

It rather sounds as if famine is turning into feast ..............

With all these adapters CJ will need another dish - that'll be the start of the major increases on CJ dish farm then

Any chance you could send me a dish that matches my feedhorn (a 1.8m on a polar mount would be good, or maybe a 2.4m)?

I already have two unused 1.2m Channel Master dishes, one unused 1m Channel Master and one unused 1.2m Precision prime focus...
