I broke my holder for my Invacom QPH-031 and need a need a replacement.

The dish is a 36 Inch Fortec star.

The plastic mount that connects to the dish and holds the LNBF in place is what broke.

Does any one know where I can find a replacement?
 
I bought my 36" Fortec dish from Sadoun, about 5 years ago.
Not sure if Fortec products are still distributed in North America, but at least he's one place that had 'em.

If I remember, I'll take a look at mine, but I'm sure you can fabricate something for replacement.
Either all from scratch, or as an add-on to what is still there.

I've seen miracles done with JB Weld, and would recommend it to you if ya have all the pieces.
 
I have seen creative use of a conduit clamp and rubber strips used when the holders crack. It is just up to the resources you have available. I support JB Weld for repair if you have the broken pieces. You can even drill and tap this epoxy as long as you dont go crazy tightening the screws.
 
This is by no means the best nor only way to use the conduit hanger clamps, but it might give you some ideas.
If I remember, you can get a 6-pack for a couple of bucks at any hardware store.
And they worked surprisingly well.
There are many other design variations posted, but I had mine bookmarked. ;)
 
Did you contact Sadoun? He carried Fortec dishes for years and I bet that he might still have some LNBF clamps in the warehouse.
 
I agree SatAv

I know Sadoun had some pieces for my 6 foot Fortec dish when it fell off the table and bent some of the pieces
