hotdish and sg2100

I recently bought a hotdish 75 and a sg2100 motor. I read that the back bracket of the hotdish must be installed up side down so it can be mounted to the sg2100. I did that. However, i cannot determine what is the elevation angle of the dish, since the elevation angle scale is now up side down. Is there anyone out there who has the sg2100 and hotdish75 set up (picture is a plus). Thanks

Hi: I'm also a newbie and I had the same problem with fitting the hotdish to the sg2100. I was also told to flip the bracket but it still didn't help the fit. To get it working, I had to grind off some of the metal from the top of the butterfly bracket so it wouldn't hit the motor. And I also had to cut off about seven inches off the lnb arm so there would be clearance for the bracket to pivot up and down without hitting the pole. I had to drill a new hold on the arm so I can mount the arm to the back for the brack. Good luck.
