I see them in summit and jegs, and such I was wanting info on how you guys did it as far as, how did you connect it to rocker bar such as bought some cable and cable clamps etc, it doesnt look like the kits have every thing you need?

Mine has a seat belt buckle welded to the cage by the main hoop and another on the door bar...it is fastened at the fronty on the bar that goes down by the windshield pillar...I would have to look again because I do not run one...but the car is set up for it.

Window Nets
Seat belt buckles have plastic parts that melt in a fire and won't release.
As an old circle track racer I've seen this happen. I switched to a all metal type latch. They don't cost much and are safer. Be fast but be safe. |

and if you do, how do you get away with not having a window net? |
Alot of tracks are pretty lax on whether you actually use it or not...

Some mix up on the window nets, you technically donot need a window net unless you run 9.99 or faster which is the same point you need a full cage. Crossover is that if you have a full cage you have to have a window net by NHRA rules, go figure. In other words roll bar to 10.00, window net with all full cages, even if you run 12.50, with a full cage.
Also go with the full metal buckle as mentioned above for sure. If it will stop raining tomorrow, i'll post some pics. of my installation, it's pretty neet and clean and i'll post the mat'l used. Zip. |
in looking at the nhra rule book, it says if you have a altered firewall or floor, which I do have both, you must have a roll cage if you go faster then 10.99
and you have to have a window net if you have to have a cage by rules having a back halfed ride, I definetly dont have a stock floor |
