Jase,
Have you considered buying one of these:

You can bolt a 1.2m channel master directly onto the above motors as they come with the adapter plate for a channel master 1.2m dish.

I have one in the garage... but won't want to part with it
Question about CM PM: Got my PM clamped on 75mm pipe, but when all bolts tighten firmly PM still can be moved around the pipe. Perhaps pipe should be some kind of 76mm. Of course, I will not look for new pipe, will just put some spacer between PM and pipe, but, anyway it would be better to have PM fixed right away without doing additional movements

No no no Jason, I only show to prevent you looking for 75mm pipe, I am not so bad . Go for 76mm one. However if you have 75mm it is easy to be fixed. I already been in the garage, found some pipe (perhaps INOX ), cut 2 pieces x 150mm, made cut along length and used them as spacers. After tightening bolts impossible to move PM. So, issue is fixed.Dont be teasing me by posting photos
Jason,
The motor I linked to above is a CX5000 H to H motor, it is a scaled back version of a Jaeger 1224 and will be perfectly OK for a 1.2m channel master dish. I have got a brand new one here in the box and a brand new Jaeger 1224 in the box and the packaging and paperwork for both look like they come from the same factory.
I didn't realise they were that sturdy. They don't look like they are.
