Advice Needed Where to buy a CM lnb holder

[Archive4]

Went to have a look at a friends dish yesterday as, like many, was having problems with 12129 V
Managed to tweak the dish to improve the signal, but noticed his lnb holder has snapped and is held together with tape and wire, making lnb adjustment very difficult. Any one know where to buy one, CM 1.8 offset dish





Thanks

Thanks, I´ll bear that in mind. Was hoping to find something more local to reduce shipping costs, but if I can´t it is an option.

My CM120 dish has a similar problem with the LNB unit breaking at the arms to the dish but luckily it's still holding the LNB steady. Seems to be a weak point in an otherwise sturdy dish. Satellite Superstore in the UK does supply Channel Master dishes and bits but they aren't the cheapest. I've had a look at some of our sponsors in the past but they don't seem to offer anything from what I've seen.

Edit: Oops, too slow

I can buy it for you and send it along with the other bits?

Thanks, hold that thought, I´ll check with Neil about price and see what he says!

Ive got an old CM lnb holder that came off a 1.2. There is slight damage to one of the upper support holes - the thin plastic has broken where the arm butts up against it - the screw was overtightened but you should be able to shim it with an appropriately sized washer though.

Free to a good home but no guarantees as to how strong it is - I salvaged it when a dish was taken down off my workplace roof ~15 years ago and if had been exposed to Scottish weather for a couple of decades before that.

Sounds just like mine. I've got a washer in mine and it's holding it fine.

Anyone know if the 1.2 and 1.8 versions are the same? It might be a good solution for Neil if that's the case.

1m, 1.2m and 1.8m holders are identical.

I have couple of holder laying around. Perhaps some of them brand new. Should I look for them?
Add: Use bigger diameter washers to prevent plastic braking.

Yes please, I'd rather send another forum member money than a big non supporting company!

No, I will charge 5 times less plus shipping (about 5 EUR... I think). As a bonus I can add couple of screws and washers from normal metal (circled green). Can not find new holder (I remember I had one). But this is from my CM 1,8m antenna, has no cracks and looks fine.

Thanks, but , do you not need it for your dish?
If you are sure, send message via pm on the existing one, thanks again

I do not like original CM LNB-holders and even more do not like original feedarms (does anybody needs feedarms in very good condition? ;) ).

I guess you have made replacements out of a very shiny material we will not mention!

i have used a 2 part glue like loctite epoxy plastic bonder to repair cm lnb holders, using glue and washers(inox of course) to repair feed arm holes.
