I finally got around to installing mine this morning. My kit didn't come with any tape but I have silver reflective duct tape that should work I think.

Just wonder exactly where the tape needs to be on the shooter rod? Is it the full width of the plastic spacer, starting from the end of the rubber shooter tip closest to the player? Is it supposed to be one solid strip of tape or two with a gap?

Also seems like the shooter rod itself needs to be reflective for this to work, the tape isn't enough?

I guess I need some close up pictures of what a correctly installed shooter rod looks like.

I am happy to report that I have successfully installed this mod and it is working great!

What I did was to cut a piece of silver foil tape (https://r8r.org/xE) the same width as the width of the plastic spacer ring provided in the kit. Then I simply attached the tape around the "bottom" of the shooter rod tip rubber such that it was snug up against the e-clip that holds the shooter rod spring in place. This turned out to be the ideal size and placement for the "shiny" tape and basically extends the shiny shooter rod slightly over the tip area.

I made sure to install the LED board snug against the front of the PF against the apron.

I also needed to adjust the board bracket so that the bracket was approx. 1/4" away from the edge of the PF.

Loving this mod it's really cool! Many thanks to twhtalm for inventing it!

By not seeing the ball you mean it doesn't do the white LED sweep when the ball is launched?
