the plate that fits on to the pole looks top dollar as i'm sure 2 inch will be fine as it has some space either side so could just bolt some pieces of steel plate to either side of the pole, to make it wider to grip the vbolts ?
even some wooden blocks wedged in if cant get hold of 3 inch pole, sat superstore got cheek to sell them for 60 notes as even 2.5inch pole would work guess you haven't got around to fit yours yet mship ? thought they sent me some weights when i picked up the box, even got the jaeger version vbox too hmsat.de, had good impression on my first order so shall use them again, friday ordered and came tuesday so very good

Not yet m8, but I've got it on the end of 1.7m 60mm inside diameter stainless steel pole - and that really does weigh something!
I can see it staying like that till next year now as I've got a million and one jobs to get through before I can justify messing about with poles and mounts again. Looks like you'll have yours mounted well before me - Good luck ![]() Kev

today i modified the holes in the 24inch brackets as i could be bothered to do it and now have my dish just below the guttering and can get 42e-30w better
seems raising it up a foot or so has bettered the signal not by a lot but notice able gonna see if it improves 1west as that wasn't so good for digi tv
