Will not make any difference, Your knees not mine

PSweeney:
I personally wouldn't have it there.  You'll be unable to find and deploy it from down there when you REALLY need it in a hurry.  It'll also be a pain to live with getting in an out of the car, ie bootlace, trouser material snagging / deploying it.  You really don't want stuff around you're knees either, difficult to get out of a burning car with shattered knee caps....  Also when belted in with arm restraints on can you actually reach it ?

If you're using a pull handle maybe place it in whatever arrangement you make to support the upper steering column. In my experience you want it within your peripheral vision and reach when sat in the car belted in with restraints on looking down the track.  Looking down to find and pull it really isn't practical at speed especially with a helmet support on.

Ponti:
Well I have picked up one of the bigger finds for the car, an Early Enderle bug catcher,  still need the blower so I made a wooden frame to hold it at the correct height and get the feel for the final look.

Where is the shot of you sitting in it making engine noises?

Looking good.

rooman:
This is what the chute lever install in Glenn's car looks like (on the left because the shifter is on the right). In your application pushing the lever forward would put your hand right where the brake handle is located. No need for a loop in the cable and you can slide the back of your hand down the front cage hoop to locate the lever.
