I've just developed a string alignment system that attaches to your car with a universal mounting concept. The tool requires the user to buy two, ten foot long pieces of 3/4" conduit which cost $7.31 today. The remainder of the tooling ships in a USPS Small Flat Rate box.
The concept is pretty simple, mount the conduit to your front & rear bumpers or similar using the special bipod brackets and turnbuckles. These allow for positioning on the car so that the conduit is level.
Also, the height of the conduit is adjusted so the string bars (mounted on each end of the conduit) can be rotated to adjust height of string.
The strings (mono-filament fish line) are kept taught by the o-rings that ate in compression under the heads of the studs in the string bars.
Softeners to protect paint are not used to details of mounting to be viewed. The bipod does have a plastic slipper to avoid hard spots on the painted surfaces.
Once installed, the conduit is quite rigidly attached to the car so bumping the installation will not ruin the setup.
Comments requested as to level of interest or design/application, etc.
Please forgive the photos in the shade, it is hot here today and I decided finished pictures were not necessary for a concept presentation.
Target price is $125 per set.
