Fine vertical adjusters for the Fortec 100-cm

I've just installed my 100-cm Fortec. Was hoping that there would be some sort of threaded fine adjustment in the vertical plane, but no. The 75-cm Star Choice dish has such an adjuster. If the vertical setting you are adjusting around is less than 40 degrees, there will be a tendency for the dish to sag down, once you've loosened the two bolts. I added a couple of beefy turnbuckles attached to the bottom mounting bracket and connected to the main mast via U-bolts. Works great and only cost a few bucks. Too bad Fortec couldn't come up with something similar.
