I know one thing - in order to mount this big Dish on the Big Steel Ring 3 of us had to loosen one of the adjustments to make the Dish go to a vertical position. This made it a lot easier to Bolt the Dish to the Ring from each side, so the Inclination Adjustment is most likely completely out and the only thing now holding up the Dish to a higher angle is the Actuator Arm right now - hope this makes sense!! |
I think that if you've taken the dish off the mount, then you'll probably need to start from scratch, although the declination might still be OK, it depends on the particular mount.
Inclinometers can be found at most hardware stores as well as at
Sadoun. Usually not very expensive, and you can use them for lots of household purposes.
