What is the best way to mount multiple LNB's onto a Channel Master 1.2m dish?

Last year I mounted a C-band LNB on my Channel Master 1.2m dish using clamps designed by (caddata) which worked very well, but now I would like to mount two or perhaps three LNB's onto the same dish. I am thinking of keeping the KU LNB centered in its black plastic mount and attaching a C band LNB and perhaps a DSS LNB on the sides.

So far, I have purchased a variety of conduit hangers and fence clamps to attach the LNB's, but none seem to work very well. Conduit hangers are not available in sizes larger than 2" to hold a C band LNB. Tonight I purchased a 2 3/8" fence clamp that works better, but I don't know how I should attach it to the KU LNB plastic mount.

If anyone has pictures of their setup of multiple LNB's on a Channel Master 1.2m dish I would love to see them to get ideas.

I know of 2 solutions for multifeed on a Channel Master 1.2 meter:

Official solution:

Back in the days of Channel Master, the company offered a multifeed solution. The reference is model 6067/01.

Here is a picture of it:

Then there is a non-official solution: DIY

Here is a guy in Holland "bambike" in forum Sat4all. He has his own DIY solution:

Hope this helps.

That 6067/01 part is very interesting! I imagine it would be hard to locate, especially with Channel Master changing corporate hands, but it might not be a bad idea to check with Dow...

The DigiWave brackets look interesting, but I have a GeosatPro 1.2M dish which has a round, not square mounting arm. Does anyone know of a similar solution which will let me mount both my QPH-031 and GeoSatpro C2 LNBFs?

Here's my redneck rig for 123/129. Going to try to add 125 when I get the time. Just made from 1/2 x 1/8 mild steel and some scrap bolts and an extra lnb holder.
