Help !!! Parts needed
After the little incident of my dish pretending to be a UFO in last weeks gales, i thought apart from the one lnb breaking that I had got away Scot free. :?
Wrong !!!! :'( Just discovered this evening that the lnb clamp on the end of the arm has taken a rather large ****er causing the top part of the bracket to split >  (see picture below). Its a standard 40mm lnb clamp. Anybody got any Idea where i can get a new one from. :?  Nano

Re: Help !!! Parts needed
If it's as simple-looking as your diagram, why don't you check out the plumbing section of B&Q or whatever. You must be able to modify a plastic pipe fitting fairly easily.
It doesn't have to look pretty.

Re: Help !!! Parts needed
I had the same problem when I overtighted mine, split in the same place.
I tried loads of places and couldnt find one so in the end, out of desperation I superglued it back together. As I found out you dont have to tighten that clamp to much and it is holding up a treat. |

Re: Help !!! Parts needed
Put a couple of zip ties round it (or duck tape) It will never come off!
