What was the length of the square tubes you used between the H180 and the dish?
Can I post one of your pictures http://pumanews.com/cband/Photos_files/IMG_0182.jpg on our website to demonstrate?

Why of course you may use any of the pics you wish....

The square tubes (cut from the original legs that came with the dish) are 20" long. The directions with the dish even kinda-sorta show ya where to drill the holes. The pipe is 2 3/4" X 7'. I buried 3' in the ground (Filled the hole with Quickcreet) and then built a box out of 2X6's to pour a little above ground form around the pole the next day. (The same form was used on my 80cm and is visible in the pic you reference)... Then I filled the pipe with Quickcreet for added strength, not to mention to keep water out (note, you have to do this before mounting the motor as the HH180 fits over the top of the pipe...

And that's about it.. It was pretty simple, although I did have to bend a bit of the dish out of the way in the back to get the motor and "O" to clear (very easy to do with a pair of pliers)...
