I am wondering if anyone has or could help me source a mounting ring like this. I took this screenshot from satellitedish.com but that is a scam website.

I was given a NIB Chaparral Ku I Polarotor to experiment with. But it didn't have the ring with it.

Good luck in your search. LNB waveguides that use polorotors are out there.
Don't know what made your experience negative but I've made several purchases and have gotten good advice and suggestions from them. Fast handling and shipping too. Always ask if in stock or if they drop ship. And lead times.

Well I searched Google for reviews because the website was going to charge my credit card without even mentioning shipping. Several reviews mentioned being billed and not receiving goods and not being able to get anyone to answer the phone. The company address goes to a small cell phone repair shop, no mention of satellite on their physical signage.

Ha, some time ago I've spotted similar thing on our local flea-market, and purchased it just in case. Never tried it though. The ring seems to be a very simple one, I do not think it should be difficult to 3D printing. Or make one from a piece of plastic should not be a big deal. IMG_20251108_115314.jpg
 
I'm interested in how it compares to this feedhorn I found from AliExpress years ago. This does pretty well for what it is.

Yeah. I got confused by the mounting ring term. Twice the fun with one of these babies. Still have a few old ones in my pile-o-stuff. If they work on C & ku using the scalar that resembles (but is way more robust than the cheapie ones shipped with many lnbf's) any other C band scalar. I'm guessing the one the op posted is.....smaller?
This one is on eBay for 250 samolians.
The units I have are already pre-drilled like this one:
