Interesting read on the 'Vette Forum.
You need to educate those guys w/ a crash course on proper "JTK" etiquette...especially that noob from Nebraska who was sweatin' Troopers there b/c Laser defense is illegal in Wheat/Corn Country.

I also took a look at "badhabit wb" install for you & you may pass on I see his problem. His Dual AL-P Sensors are spaced to far apart (I measured ~26-27") & much to wide spaced for ANY D.E.T. Lidar. I state this as from personal experience as a Shooter & have done the same to others who didn't do a proper install. I would also agree w/ you about both Sensors appearing to be pitched outward in the pix I looked at. My most recent IPT at any distance was a Black Tesla S w/ a Dual AL-P w/ 27 1/2" spacing...I sliced thru him like a hot knife thru warm butter !

N.C. dude can keep a Dual by moving his closer together (22-24" max separation) or space them even wider but then add a 3rd Sensor in CM.

I just pulled a tape along the contour of the front and it was 25 1/2" between the sensor. It looked like 24 3/4" actually between the inside edges of both sensors. If you think that's the problem I can move them closer together or if it would be better buy another sensor. The rear sensors are only 20" apart and I had the same results with pt's.

I'm more conservative than most b/c I understand from the Shooters perspective just how dangerous the D.E.T. Lidars are...especially the very tight laser beam from the "Compact" model. I prefer spacings to be in a tighter window of 18-22". Those outboard TLs on a 'Vette are easy pickin's.

I was getting the same IPTs on the Rear of member "jibiki's" White 'Vette at the most recent NJ Meet. We were all sooo burned-out from the 99 degree heat & extreme humidity I never got a chance to take a good look at his install to find what was wrong.

Let me know if you find out. The sensors are 20" apart and I know he was shooting the tail lights.

I measure center-of-bubble to center-of-bubble b/c the receiving function is the more critical function in this case.
That makes you close to 27" & a primary factor I believe.

It's around 26 1/4" on the front and 23 1/2 on the back. The bubble is inboard on the front and outboard on the rear. Does it matter how they are oriented? Thanks.

Bubble orientation generally doesn't matter, the net effect is basically the 1 inch difference in bubble to bubble distance. The bubble is where the receiver is.

Thanks. I'm going to remove and re-install the heads and make sure they are closer together and aligned and level. Once I get that done i'll try to get my hands on another dragoneye.
