My cars all use a "square" (Long style) shoulder hoop

Ponti:
Bit more work done today.

  I've attached a couple more pictures, might make more sense of where I am thinking of my chute handle.  I have mocked it up with one from a fire suppression system,  I mounted it infront of my brake lever, so it's a pull chute......pull brake.

 Also sat in the car and tried the shifter, Oops... hit the axle when I pulled it back for 1st, I then realised that once strapped I'd not be able to shift it forward enough for reverse or park.  Time to get thinking   ::)  out with the woodworking tools and some ply and a temp handle fab'd to test operation. Took a couple of goes but it works, just need to sort some cable for operating the lockout, and get a shifter made. Not sure a wooden one would pass Tech inspection  ;D

Oh and the views not bad from the seat.

dreracecar:
NEVER have anything protuding  (chute cable bracket) that your knee can come into contact with in case of accident or you will limping for a long long time

Ponti:
I would have a fairing on the bracket if I kept it there, and obviously a more rounded outside edge.
