Can't wait for you to get to work on the c band side.

Not sure about the "L" and "R" stamps on the arms. My GSP 1.2 dishes (5 year old) do not have these designation stamps. The angles of the bends appear correct.
The LNBF skew follows the arc. Standing in front of the reflector and looking at the rear of the LNBF, if the target satellite is West of true South, rotate counterclockwise. If the target satellite is East of true South, the skew is rotated clockwise.

The extra washers made a big difference. The dish no longer swings around freely.
Instead of putting the side arm position and through-bolt where it is now (through the KU-band poly clamp), move the side arms and through-bolt down to the next set of holes on the center arm. This lower position also provides clearance for the C-band conical scalar.
Success! On 91W, getting The Word Network, CW Plus, Classic Arts, BYU TV, TCT, LightTV and a bunch of scrambled stuff

As far as I can tell, the 1.2m is pulling in every available C-band transponder on 91W. To say I'm impressed would be an understatement. I'm THRILLED!!
I do not recommend the CK1S for mini BUD experimentation. The unit performs well on most full size dishes, but will provide poor performance on an undersized reflector. Combo feeds are a compromise and will likely provide reduced performance on both bands.
Whats your Q on CW like? I dont even get a whiff of CW no matter what i do on my Channel Master 1.2m
72%-90% yesterday afternoon
But I had to skew the LNB to get ARTS in HD to come in and lost the CW mux
I played with the skew but still no luck. I will try again and see if any luck
May also have to do with the signal footprint. Being close to the geographic center of the US, I may be able to receive a stronger signal
Thats true. The beam is not very strong at my location but I will try to tweak the lnb at night. I dont know if its true but I have heard that the signal is comparatively stronger at night
