When you did this, you obviously couldn't have just used the reading on the inclinometer directly. Did you add/subtract the published offset angle or something? Which dish did you do this on? On my dish, this bracket is close to being perpindicular to the apparent aim of the dish (not the actual aim), but I've seen pictures of some other dishes where the back bracket isn't even close to being parallel to the dish surface, but is instead attached nearer the bottom of the dish instead of being centered. So I think that using this technique in general would not be at all reliable, unless you really studied your dish before hand.
