SAMI 10' BUD Rebuild

[gpswx4cster]

First post Guys. I am currently in the process of rebuilding my older 10' SAMI BUD. I just had the mount sandblasted and repainted along with having the dish repainted. I am replacing all of the nuts and bolts and replacing them with all stainless steel. Would someone happen to have an old SAMI Dish parts list that would document all of the nuts and bolts used? My dish has been in storage for several years and I don't have the old screws.

Thanks!

We like to see a dish being restored and used once again I don't see a manual/parts list in the manuals section but I don't think it should be difficult to figure out what is needed. Post lots of pictures. A few members have the Sami's and may be able to identify the harder parts.

Check these:

KTI was made by SAMI, so likely the same, or close enough.

Thanks for the documents. The KTI manual is exactly what I was looking for. Just picked up my SAMI dish from the sandblaster / painter and it looks awesome! I'll post pictures later today.

Use anti-seize stuff on those stainless bolts. If not, they can lock together and not be removable in the future.

Just started laying out the pieces to make sure everything fits correctly. Making a parts list and will head to hardware store either today or tomorrow.
