MHenry Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 The correct radar dish is a tupperware lid just over 4 inches wide. As Obie Wan said in a previous post...the 4" is the one you want, not the 5" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashmann Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 There was a tutorial around here somewhere with that info... http://forum.mepd.net/index.php?showtopic=...40&start=40 - Post 45, 1/4 the way down the page Remove the plunger from inside the lid Drill a hole in the tube about 2" from the bottom Insert a 1 1/2" long screw with a large plastic washer through the hole from the inside the tube Drill a hole for the screw through the center of the flexible part of the pitcher lid Paint the hard part of the lid black Mount the flexible part on the top (without the plunger) and push it onto the screw Secure it with an acorn nut and some threadlock Tada!
