Triax 80cm multi LNB spacing 16e

I've got an 80cm Triax which is currently focused on 1w. I want to buy a Triax multi LNB holder and set the dish up for 13, 19, 23 & 28e. I have a zone 2 which can take over 1w duties.

I've used the zone 2 on 1w before and it gets all transponders just like the Triax. It even pulls in a stronger signal on some transponders than the Triax while on other transponders the Triax performs slightly better. It just seems more sensible doing a multi LNB setup with the Triax.

I'm expecting the spacing between 19 & 23e to be a bit of a squeeze. I've got a couple of Octagon Optima slimline LNB's which should hopefully do the job.

I'm wondering if it'd be asking too much to squeeze a fifth LNB on for 16e? I realise these are sold as 3° to 20° spacing brackets but would 3° be possible on a dish the size of mine?

There also doesn't seem to be anywhere selling 5 way Triax multi brackets so I assume I'd have to buy two and pinch a holder off the second one?
 
Good thread, I was just about to ask the same question, I have just bought a triax 80cm and multi lnb holder, and I'm also looking to have 13, 16, 19, 23, and possibly 28.
 
Not much space for 16
This is my installation
I'm recieving good s.n.r On all three transponders 19 13 28

I know it's an extra degree and a bit than the suggested 20° spread but would it be possible to fit 7e, 13e, 19.2e, 23.5e and 28.2e on the same multi LNB holder?
 
I don't think you will get less than 5degree spacing, as said before, 13 19 and 28 are tight, you will never get 16 in there, and I doubt 23 either, unless you use monobloc LNBs,
