Micro adjust on a 1.2M Fortec Dish?

[OCGW]

I bought a 1.2M Fortec dish from the folks at Sadoun ( my second Fortec Dish), I have the things set up and working pretty good, My question is has anyone devised a way to attach a Micro adjust of some type to this style of dish? I must add they are both running SG-2100 motors.

Dealing with this thing myself and juggling with the 4 bolts on the motor and not having the thing get away from me is an adventure. And the same can be said for the dish elevation adjustment also.

I tried to search the forum an only come up with C-band mount ideas.

I would appreciate any ideas or even pictures of what others have tried.

Here is thread Anole created a while back, he was trying to add an elevation adjustment bolt: Calculate elevation screw degrees.

Edit - There are links in that thread to more information on the topic.

JsatTV and his Fortec elevation adjustment

I think JsatTV had some trouble with his 1m Fortec dish, last year.
Here is a list of threads where we discussed his elevation adjustment problem, and possible solutions:

Some of the content was on-line brainstorming, so you really need to read all the way through to the end to get the full story.
Hope it's of some help.

edit: also check out this picture by DirtyShame.
He got some elevation screw adjustment pretty cleverly.

Sir Anole, I greatly appreciate the links and info... I figured this topic had been discussed at great length here, but couldn't locate it when I searched. Thank You

Oh, I remember now.
The reason for the complicated setup with JsatTV, was he had a motor with the shaft sticking up !
DirtyShame and others, used motors with the shaft sticking down, and there are several variations on his idea floating around!
A 1.2 m is a pretty big dish to put on a 2100, but we have folks who've put heavy Primestars on 'em.
Plenty of ideas in the 2100/Primestar discussion threads (one of which has that DirtyShame post in it, above).
Let us know if you don't find the other threads...

Also, for others reading this post, SatelliteAV sells a GeoSatPro 1.2m dish with a big long elevation screw.
example picture, and it's reversible so you can put the screw at the top or bottom of the dish.
