Default ACC module bracket.

Recently added ACC to a 2016 autobiography. Getting hold of a mounting bracket was a pain so we made our own. Dimensions were taken from a OEM bracket. Cheers to Glen65 for allowing us to dismantle front end of his autobiography. Images are self explanatory. Used a 3mm galvanized steel sheet, as its easy to bend. There's 2 mounting screw holes on the cross member , easy enough to find a couple screws to fit. Module was from a range rover FPLA-9G768-AC . We slid the custom bracket between the back of the sensor and the original bracket using a couple of screws to secure it in place. Glen65 has previously posted detailed installation, setup and list of OEM part numbers so I won't bore you. Just the original bracket mounts to remove and it's complete. Also thanks to Marc for all his technical knowledge.

You did an amazing job of fabricating that bracket Seg.

For anyone interested in doing this mod here’s my write up

Hi guys. Amazing. What it the thickness or the range expected to work fine without getting bent over time and either to be easy to work with?

We used a 3mm thick galvanised steel which seems to be stable enough. We are going to remove the range rover mounts to ensure they don't act as sails

And from the bottom of the radar down to the metallic part under the bumper this is mounting on, it is about 6cm (or few mm less, correct me, please).

Yip 6cm is about wright. The final image shows a red line at the top of the sensor. This is a laser level on a tripod set to the top of the grill badge. Remove the bumper and set the sensor top edge to the same height. Good luck.
