Interesting.
That is interesting. I have 3 and all have 4 leg mounts but I never actually looked at the ring as to mounting holes for anything else.

Just an addition as to removing the bolt on 90. If you plan on using a feedhorn cover on this setup you may not be able to remove the 90. With no feedhorn cover you would be fine without the 90.

Could be distortion in the pic but it does not look like the feedhorn is pointed at the center of the dish. A quick easy way to check this is when dark pull the feedhorn and put a flashlight into the scalar ring. It will point beam at what you are looking at. Adjust until pointed at center. Adjustment is done by bending the feedhorn support arms.
