I can't tell you but you don't need an engineering study
put the motor on a pole, then put the elevation value equivalent to your latitude on the top plate of the motor and with a flexible meter measure the distance between the 2 underlying pins to which add 10cm and then you're done

TS decided to have new declination&elevation eyebolts out of SS as well as adapter plate for an offset antenna. I wish him luck installing and adjusting all that.
Very nice adapter plate and brackets for the 1224, a lot of fixing points for a dish, great job.
There are 3 sets of holes with distance between them 178mm (as CM 120 has), so CM antennas can go directly to the plate.

oops only just seeing this now sorry rimants.
just a update well not really a update as i was about to post on here with pics of rimants excellent work on the adapter plate for my 1224 el motor.

i have just been thinking lol before i take down my 1.8m thats o n a polarmount belonging to a cm i am going to use my cheap digital inclometer that i bought in lidl a few months ago and face my dish for due south which is 7.w for me and put a straight length of timber from top to bottom on the dish face and put the inclometer on the straight length to get a reading and also do the same on the polarmount at the back of the dish so then i have ball park figures to go by when setting up the 1224 motor on my mabo dish,does this make sense to you guys lol

received my adapter plate made in INOX from rimnants,all i can say is top top quality work by a very knowledgeable and nice man.
i will when the weather gets warmer fit it on my mabo 1.8m dish,so will report back, TBC..........................................................................
thank you rimants and i would advise anyone needing anything made for there dishes etc to contact rimnants.

Hi there, I found HH Super Power jack V-120(specification says up to 1.5m), I want to move Gibertini 1.5 m but I'm not sure it's possible. Does anyone have experience with this or a similar diseqc and this antenna?
Personally, I would not put a 1.5m dish on the V-120 motor.
You might get away with it if the dish is in a sheltered location with no chance of any wind load on it but it would not be my choice for a 1.5m dish.
You could use a v-box as positioner with an actuator on a polar mount or a Jaeger 1224 H-H motor.
A v-box will accept DiSeqC commands from a receiver or DVB software.

just totally stoopid i agree with moonbase why destroy a good cheap clone Disecq motor
when you can simply buy a clone Super Power jack Actuator instead and it'll work just fine
without trying to put far more stress on a Disecq motor than its capable .
it can say whatever the hell BS it likes the bearings will be toast inside a month or two if even that
Disecq motors are designed for max 1.1m dish and even that is pushing it .
be smart use that Disecq on a 90cm-1.1m dish and do it right V-box and 24" actuator for your 1.5m dish
you'll be glad you did as the 1.5M dish when there is strong winds your dish is not shaking about like a crackhead needing a fix .....

I have a new Super jack motor but a huge one 36" and v box. So far I have used diseqc hh Amico dm3800 for Gibertini 125 without any problems on 2 antennas for many years...Anyway, I'll take your advice, install a Actuator (I'll try to find a smaller but new one, since used ones aren't a great idea) TNX

I have an smr-1224 and a panzer plate, I made it from 7 mm steel. I noticed that there is no way to install it without removing some parts, which bothers me. I don't want to mess it up. What is the easiest way to install the plate.
