My first FTA dish had to move. So I added some upgrades. I fabbed some LNB supports from 3/8" steel brake line. I replaced the SG2100 with a SG9120b. I installed a "Walrus Elevation Adaptor". This dish has never worked better. The elevation control is so sweet. Dan is the MAN!!

very nice. I always though of putting braces on the sides of my 2076 dish but never got to it ;)
 
Nice mods and mount. My invacom does tend to bounce in the wind without support arms. Looks like something I will be doing very soon.

I remember when the Walrus posted pictures of those adapters.
Maybe you could include the link for others who might want to follow up?

I went looking for side support material for a Ku dish, and couldn't find anything so small.
Extra points for the brake lines.
Think I wound up with 1/2" or 3/4" conduit, myself. :)

A couple of the longer elements from a junk OTA antenna works great. I attached these with self-drilling panhead phillips screws, 5 minutes from start to finish.
