SlimLine dish question

[smitty814]

Hello all. I'm making the move to DTV on Saturday. I'm making a standoff for mounting the dish to my porch railing (steel). I have everything welded up and ready to mount, except for drilling the holes in the mount plate.
Can anyone give me the bolt hole pattern/dimensions for the SlimLine dish foot mount?

I don't have the measurements but I can tell you from experience that no two mounts are exactly alike. They're pressed into shape and come out some times out of square which makes pre-drilling the holes in a steel plate a bit of an issue.

Thanks Randy. I'll just wait until they get here then.

As long as you didn't make your footing out of stainless I'd just wait for the J/mount to properly align the holes.

Varies... My AU9 is 5" x 8", the Other is 4" x 7.5" (center to center)

Thanks all. I'll just wait.
