Good job, Ozz!

I ground down that big hinge, stuck out on both sides.
Got's to keep the little woman happy, good job yourself.

Nice job, I see you have that dish plumbed for propane too

The DishNet is made a bit differently. I drilled out the rivets and put in two bolts. take one bolt out and it pivots on the other. It lets it fold up like yours. Saves lots of space. Good Job.

Nicely done, Jim.

Ozz,
The only thing about the hinges is that there seems to be a little play in them. I would prefer a more secure fit.
I don't have any alignment problems with that issue, but had to readjust the elevation a tad.

How does a propane satellite dish work??????

Ozz · 07-14-2011, 11:52 AM

Ha! you guys are funny! You know I had some 'Off' spray sitting there but I moved it because I figured that would open up a whole bunch of one-liners... forgot about the grill under the Dish.

Now Ozz can have popcorn and watch TV. Nice twist on how to use a hinge.

I don't want to misrepresent my 'doin's', it was another MOC member that suggested it and gave me the link to buy it,
(I am sorry I don't remember your name, if you read this please comment) Roy, was it you? I just installed it. I did do mod's to it to make it rigid and I did shorten the large hinge by about 1/8" on each end, as it hung over.
Just wanted to own up to that. A smart RV guy, or gal, figured the kit up and packaged it for sale.
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!

Yes Ozz, it was me who told you about the hinge package. We are leaving for a week to get away in this heat...both A/C's will be running! 90's & High Humidity...........in central WI
It will my first trip with the fold away LNB arm...should pack much easier!
Take care,

Roy
