    these work extremely well and out last most traditional type fixings too - Combined with stevejos chemical cement they wont be going anywhere !!!


    The top bracket on A T&K should ideally be at least three brick courses from the top of the wall as they tend to loosen and crack the mortar in my opinion .


    Thanks ! i already have those installed not sure if i could get these out and fill the hole with the chemical fixing ?

  • Which fixing would you use ?

    Hi Members!!


    my dish and bracket has been really tested the past week or so as the winds have been very strong.


    I currently have a 2 meter aluminum pole with an aerial at the top a 90Cm motorized disc then a static sly dish at the button.


    The Brackets are T&k.


    The bricks are hollow as the house is only 4 years old.


    I believe i have installed the top bracket to close to the top course of brick and when tightened it they seem to be cracking the compo' so decided when the weather gets better i will take the existing down re patch the holes and use better fixing lower down the wall with a longer pole


    Have you guys any preference of the fixing ?
