How much of a rise do I need for a 10 deg incline?

I'm using an old offset feed sat dish for an 802.11 point to point antenna. The mount only goes down to 10 deg. What size shim do I need to put under the top bolts on the dish mount to bring the feed down that last 10 deg? The distance between the vertical bolts is aprox 4 in.
