It should be around 3 feet 1 inch, give or take 2 inches one way or the other.
In other words if you set the scaller ring to 3 feet 2 inches from the dish you should be able to move most LNBs in or out to set for max Q.

I have 3 , 7.5 dish, I just checked all 3 of them and they check at dead on 36 and 1/2 inches from the ring to the center of the dish, the poles are sloted at the scaller ring so you can add 1/2 inch to the 36 and 1/2 inch for a total of 37 inches if needed.

Try pointing the dish at the sun so the LNB shadow is on the center.
Then use a small mirror around parts of the dish. The reflection should hit the LNB opening.

35 and 1/2 inch should work just fine, you can move the LNB in or out to get max Q, as posted you can use the sun to get it pointed to center, I like to use a flash light in place of the LNB to find center, use what works best for you.
