    I have a Mk4 type zone 2 dish which has a 30mm bracket/u clamp, I orders a patio pole mount then noticed thet its 50mm diameter pole.
    How to i fix the dish as the clamps/brackets are for 30mm pole like most sky type dish.
    Is there a convertor i need?

    Maybe the follwing may be of some help

    Code:

    Athough the above site does say....

    Most Zone 1 Sky / Freesat dishes will also fit on a 2" or 1.5" pole (though you will need a V bolt ), but Zone 2 dishes [or older Zone1s fitted with the little "L" pole] will, for some ironic reason, only take 1.25" poles.

    I have a feeling I may have to camp the 30mm wall mount pole to the 50mm dia pole using a 50mm clamp

    I had a close look at the sky dish where u bolts are and it looks as if the 50mm pole will fit then if it did you could try v bolts to hold in place. That clamp may work ok but look a bit clunky.

    If it works ok then job done. Post a pic later.
