I realized that part of my confusion was from looking at pictures of a
different motor. However now that I'm looking at the right motor, I'm still
confused. I just pulled up two of Sadoun's pictures of this motor shaft.
One shows no holes at all, ie:
I found a couple more pictures showing no holes. However, the other
picture found at the Sadoun site shows 2 holes, however they don't look
like they are centered on the shaft, ie:
Plus the finish on the 2 shafts looks to be different, as if there are different
shafts sold for this motor????
A month or 2 ago, I read a web page somewhere where someone was
describing having to drill holes in the shaft to get it to work.
Is it possible that either the shafts come without holes, and maybe Sadoun
drills the holes, or perhaps there are different model shafts, and Sadoun
ships the one he thinks will be appropriate?
In any event, there seems to be a variety of hole patterns for this motor.
I've been considering getting one of these things for a few months now,
but it's been very confusing that different pictures of these things seem to
picture different hardware.

I forget... are you one of those who had the 5 deg off symptom?
With this U-bolt mount, I've seen a few different versions of this too. Some
that I've seen at other dealers have 3 bolts where it connects to the dish
bracket, one in the center, which would seem to keep the thing centered
and keep free play out of the adjustment. I think I've also seen a version
that seemed to have a centering nub that fits in a depression, again to
keep it centered. However the mounts pictured on the Sadoun site don't
seem to have anything to keep it centered, ie they just have the 2 bolts,
which look like they would allow quite a bit of shifting as you try to change
the angle. Or am I missing something from only being able to see a few
views of the mount? From what I see in the Sadoun pictures, the pole
mount FC90P, sure looks less likely to have problems.
