OK--here we go!
Ok--here's how I did it. I used 1 1/2" square, hollow aluminum tubing. Cut three pieces to size. I purchased a fortec 80 cm mount ($10 plus shipping) from Sadoun. This mount is strong, yet very light weight. It allowed me to adjust the elevation skew and to adjust for the offset angle of my dish (16.9 degrees). The rest should be obvious from the pictures. Note: the dish is so heavy that the two horizontal screws on the mount (which sets the angle of the dish relative to the motor's snout) are not strong enough to hold the dish at the 24 degree angle I needed. So, I attached a plumbing clamp to the snout of the motor. I bought a straight, 3/8" bolt which screws into the plumbing clamp. I cut it size with a hack saw. At the other end of this bolt, I then screwed on a "sleeve" which allows the user to connect two bolts. This sleeve allows for fine tuning to a fraction of a degree. Now, the angle of the dish only has to be set one time. The weight of the dish against this "set screw" keeps everything rigidly in place. This part can be redone by using a longer "set screw" which bolts to the center spine of the mount. I'm still pondering this.
Note: the base is a temporary one which is one wheels so I can wheel it around my driveway. I can make the pole plumb at any location by using shims in the right place. I have not decided where the permanent location will be yet.
This set up tracks the arc nearly perfectly--I am near Boston. When I was aimed at G10R, I had to nudge the dish a few clicks with DisEqc 1.2 commands.
My HH motor is a Jaeger SuperJack DG 120+. I bought it on Ebay in Austria. It moves the dish with ease.
If anyone has any questions, would like more details, would like any more photos, just let me know. I owe everything to the other more senior posters to these forums from whom I have learned so much such as Iceberg, PopcornNmore (who gave me the inspiration from his prior posting to try this), Anole, Stogie 5150, Tron, Gabshere and Likvid to name a few.
