6 foot add on Polar mount - availability?

Sadoun,
any news on getting these at a reasonable price? You were going to look into it for a few of the guys on here. Maybe I missed the follow up, so I'm not sure. But anyway, I need to convert my 6 foot forget from the broken HH180 to Polar mount:


Today is 6/6/2009 my 6 foot dish has been on the ground for over a year.

You really don't have to wait, you can make any polar mount fit by cutting a bracket here or adding one there just make sure to center the dish on the mount before you drill for any mounts. I just finished a conversion for a 4 foot offset data dish to a polar mount as the weight of it buckled the sg2100 motor bracket. Used a Polar mount from a 10ft. Sami and mated it to the 4 footer with just 3 - 1 inch long 1 1/2 X 1 1/2 angle brackets. Quick and almost painless. One small metal frag came in under the safety glasses took an hour to get it out...if you can't buy it or find it make it your great grandparents did.

I am quite handy enough to build it if I had to. I make a lot of stuff I have around here.

Honestly I just don't have the time to engineer what it's going to need and get all the parts together. For the $60 or whatever this thing will cost it's worth it to me to not have the aggravation.

I'm in the middle of a kitchen remodel, my roof needs a redo, and I have a few ham antennas and TV antennas to shift around my setup.
That with weekly yard maintenance for 2 houses and full time and a half job - well for this kind of part I know it's off the shelf.
