For the elevation, where should the angle be measured?
- the vertical part of the arm that holds the LNBF behind the dish?
- the horizontal part of the arm that holds the LNBF in front of the dish?
- the tick mark on the bracket that holds the dish?

I'm using the tick mark (40 degree) on the bracket but when I measure the vertical part of the arm behind the dish it's about 10 degrees off (30 degrees).

If I understand you right, you cant measure the vertical part as the dish is "offset" by a set amount (it looks "higher" that it appears), so you must use the tick mark on the dish scale.
