Which dishes REALLY work with SM3D22?

I have a Winegard DS2076 76cm dish, and I cannot figure out how it's supposed to fit onto a SM3D22.

The dish elevation axis bolt fits through the azimuth shaft quite nicely (and ensures that the disk is square on the shaft.) I had to tweak the dish clamp to completely close on the too-narrow azimuth shaft.

But here's the kicker: How are we supposed to set the elevation of the dish? The shaft angle keeps you from doing anything other than parallel with the shaft. I have the same model dish on an SG2100 without difficulty, but the geometry of this H-H won't let me set the dish elevation.

I'm going to use this on a Fortec-Star dish that I have somewhere else (and provides more clearance from the elevation control).

Our good sponsor claims that this mount will work with
Winegard dishes, so I would love to see photos of a solution for a Washington, DC installation.

Anyone else out there deal with this combination before?
