Which metal cable do you want to tighten?
Will you still be using the motorised function?

yes I will still be using the motorised dish I want to titen the pool with metal wire its the pool that's moving hence sise of the dish so high up
By "pool" do you mean pole?
EDIT. If so, I am sure that teh pole can be lowered. Seems there is enough space for clearance. One of the seasoned installers will confirm.

looking at the picture the t&k are in the optimum place to prevent wobble..
however with any that size you will get some movement and flex.. even if you were to brace the pool (Pole) to the chimney you would still experience some movement.
what trouble are you having alignment or is the actual dish rotating around the pole ?

im going to use the same length of pole but 3 inch instead of 2 inch
Using Tronic-Translate to decipher Simonese, I think he means a thicker pole, which might be a bit more rigid. Mind you, it's a brave man putting a dish that size on a brick chimney stack.
But of course it all depends on where the wobble is- I can't see the polar mount from the pic's, but I've seen some pretty shoddy ones- I've even seen a very expensive Gibertini 1.6 offset that came with the flimsy-est effort attached to it. Then again, it could be a worn jack... more bravery required to sit up beside it during the next force 8! Don't forget the safety harness :grayno:

its on the side of the house wall mate
thicker pole may help but with a dish that size mounted to just a pole your always gonna have some form of movement be it pole flex or dish rotation due to the mounts
Oh yes, so it is- just seen it on a bigger screen lol. As @neorage says you'll always get some movement, the trick is how to reduce it to as little as possible. A couple of bars, one to either side of the chimney (thus forming a triangle as viewed from above) would certainly help, and probably cheaper than replacing the pole.

Mine in is the back garden on the ground well out of the wind and I suffer very little movement.
