Presales (?) HH120 mounting with Channel Master 1.2

[neftv]

I'm back after a while away.
I am thinking of getting the HH120 for my Channel Master 1.2m dish. My pole mount is 3" O.D. The mount the dish has looks like this
http://www.andrew.com/search/BN_PA-100547-EN.aspx . I see that the HH120 would not have a problem mounting to the pole I have but mounting the dish to the HH120 is a problem since the HH120 Dish mounting only is 2 1/8 only. So is there something else I can do to make this work? Thanks.

What I did to mount mine, was to make a "sleeve" out of a piece of 2" Sch 10 pipe. It was slit to within 1/2 in of the end with 4 slits. This make a "collet" that could be squeezed between the dish mount and the pole on the HH120.
The slits for opposing pairs were cut from opposite ends so it could clamp evenly.

Well, I dont have a machine shop to make slits. I was hoping there is something I can buy from like Home Depot to accomplish the dish mounting.

You don't need "a machine shop". We are talking about a "plastic pipe". I used the same set-up with mine. A hacksaw ($5 USA) will do just fine....

I cut the pipe about 12 inches long and then cut it down the whole length, so it would easily slip onto the HH-120 mast. The 1st photo is when it was on the roof. Got tired of getting out the ladder. The 2nd photo is same dish and motor on the ground using a standard steel fence post ($12 USA) set in concrete. The dish is a 1.0 meter channel master.
