    Default Question about leveling LI Heads with pics

    I installed my Laster Interceptors today and due to the design of the grill it is hard to get the heads level with out heavy modification. Below are some pictures how the heads are set up now. My main question how will this affect the preference of the jammer. thanks in advance

    You may have to resort to dremeling out the back side of some of those slats to get the heads to fit in a level position, but it is very important that the heads be level. Looks like they're pointing at the sky in the pic.

    Unlike radar detectors that can still function when pointed skyward (albeit with worse performance), unlevel jammer heads are largely ineffective.

    Also make sure they're facing forward (square). The grill has a curve and it looks like the heads are pointing outward. When they're aimed correctly on a curved grill the outer edges of the heads will be sticking out more than the inner edges.

    +1 also on pointing up in the air.

    Did you use the bubble level that came with the LI's?

    thanks guys for the quick replies. I did remove the grill and do some modifications to it so the heads would sit level and now they are level according to the little bubble level that came with the jammer.

    You need to check that the ground that the car is on is level too

    Nice Job! Shows a lot of planning and work and guts to carve away with abandon. The parking sensors look like they belong in that honeycomb grill.
