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.
