This is the mount or back bracket that holds the reflector to the dish.
The Az/El mount is constructed from heavy-gauge steel to provide a rigid support to the reflector. Four heavy-duty lockdown bolts secure the mount to any 2-7/8 - 3.00 inch O.D. mast and prevent slippage in high winds. A specially formulated powder paint process offers excellent protection from weather related corrosion . Hot-dip galvanizing is optional for extreme environmental conditions.
