PMB - so much for just using an EMT pipe...

I am yelling and screaming myself... The winds snapped my newly installed motor in a very similar way. Snapped right at the point where the adjusting bolt anchors to the bottom cast aluminum motor casing. The wind swung the dish over and bent it. This is a horrible design and is obviously not meant to hold the 180cm dish even though the motor is named HH180. I hope Sadoun can help us out on this. I spent about 16 hours setting this assembly up and I never had it working.
