    Motorized set up with out of square T-Mount

    Purchased a T-Mount to use for my motorized set up but the problem is i got it bang on vertically but when i look to the side the bar is bent slightly pointing upwards and so is not 100% horizontal .
    There is not much i can do apart from screw it to the wall so it comes down to poor workmanship on the mount . Would i still be able to use it or would it effect the dish following the arc .

    behind the bracket between the wall and bracket
    and through the bolts

      ive found that the weight of the dish/motor can/will pull it down a very slight amount but stick a couple of washers behind as advised if needed untill its bang on in both planes and it should then track ok. L brackets are ok but always go with T+K,s if possible on a motorised system. regards mdt

        Its all well and good putting washers in to space it out but spare a thought on the bolts that you used, If you used standard 50mm and you intend to use washers try and source some 60mm or even better 70mm to counteract the spacing.

        Last thing you need on your install is to have it fall down.
