I intercepted a Sky mesh dish a few days ago, unfortunately missing its LNB arm. I can replicate the arm if I knew the length of it. The LNB/radiating element/holder will be a 3-D printed adaptor to suit its new life, so it really is only the arm length I need. If anyone could run a tape measure over theirs I'd be grateful.
I've the smaller one, but logically it won't be the same. This dish measures 70cms across as per the pic.
Thanks
Gareth
