Front Laser Shifters: The Front Laser
Shifters (Code letter B on the
installation manual) can be mounted
different ways. They can be mounted
inside the grill area as on the
Yellow Z06 with the supplied mount
brackets and 3M Scotch VHB
1
double
sided tape (follow surface preparation
and temperature instructions for the
VHB tape),
or
they
can
be
mounted
outside the grill using
VHB double sided tape as shown on the black
car. Spread the shifters as far apart as possible
but
maintain
a
clear
view of the road ahead. The
shifters should be mounted as level as possible
(use the sight line on the short side of the shifter
as a level line) with the bubble lens on the top of
the
front
face.
Remove
the
protective
film
from
the front face after installation. Feed the wires
towards
the
passenger
side
of
the
car
under
the
hood.
Front Radar Receiver: The Front Radar Receiver (Code letter A on the installation manual)
can be mounted inside the grill area using self taping hardware. Place the unit in the middle
and screw it to the plastic shroud. The unit can also be mounted inside under the hood
using double side tape and placed on the small ledge on the driver side as along as no
metallic parts obstruct the view forward (tip: do not mount radar receiver behind license
plate). The ledge is located behind the bumper.
Penetrating the Firewall: The wires from both front
shifters and the radar receiver should be run towards
the passenger side. The main wiring harness going
into the firewall will have a soft rubber boot around it.
You will need to disconnect and remove the battery
except on the Z06.
Take a small sharpened 1/8 inch metal rod and poke three holes through the rubber boot.
Cut the phone jack connectors off the wires and run thru the holes in the rubber boot
.
