    After three attempts at this I finally have a somewhat workable approach. I just got my ALP kit yesterday.

    -Put VHB tape on the mounting surface of the bracket. Make sure there is some space between the tape and the easy bend holes.
    -Put heads in the brackets so the back of the head is a hair past the back edge of the bracket.
    -Put a square of VHB on opposite ends of your 24 inch level, or whatever aid you are going to use.
    -Put the heads on opposite sides so the front is flush with the front of your level device. Use some pressure so they are not loose.
    -Take the protective tape cover off the mounting sides of the brackets. Put your level device under the area you want your heads and apply pressure to the mounting area.
    -Stand back and look at your work. Pull your level device forwards and your heads should slide forward with the bracket in position.
    -Apply some more pressure. If parking outside use some wide packing tape to seal off the bracket from unexpected weather. The first time I did this it rained 10 minutes later for a few hours.

    Hopefully this method will keep two of the axis aligned and all that is left is vertical alignment.

    Suggestions? I just did this half an hour ago so I don't have any results yet.
