Hi all,
I bought a second hand 1m Gibertini dish with motor for £50 and the motor bracket was rusted (bought another & am trying to save the existing) but the bolts were properly rusted (had to snap two of them to remove) and one jaw was missing.
I am having trouble finding the square u-bolts (80mm/M8 and 94mm/M8) and appropriate lengths to replace them (M10 won't fit).
Can I used the u-bolts/v-bolts that are rounded/v at the end, or two M8 screws with nuts and a flat plate? Or would you advise again either due to structural necessity for my setup?
Every video I watch seems to have square U-bolts, so I wasnt sure if this was an important factor.
