Seven things a bracket needs
- Two straight edges, two prongs each. Each long edge has two prongs that rest on the rim’s lip. Ours are 196 mm apart.
- Prongs that reach past the tire. The prongs stick out about 32 mm past the edge, so they reach the lip without touching the tire.
- Phone flat, long side along the prongs. The phone lies flat, screen up, its long side along the line between the prongs and its top toward FRONT.
- Phone held tight, bracket stiff. The phone is pushed into a corner and clamped, so it cannot shift or rock. Pressing on the far edge should not tilt the phone; ours is a solid 15 mm slab.
- Flat back, steady on its end. It lies still on the floor, and stands steady on its end against a wall. The calibration and the floor readings need both.
- A FRONT mark. FRONT points to the front of the car at every wheel. The edge on the phone’s right side is the rail edge; camber is read on it.
- Run Bracket Calibration. It measures your bracket’s own small differences and refuses a phone that moves. Run it again for a new phone or a new bracket. Calibration, step by step
