Blower Restraints

--- Quote from: arush on December 29, 2016, 06:54:34 PM ---I just received my DJ Safety 14.1 blower restraints.
I gave them my dimensions and they said that I should have the 18" long straps.
After putting them on they seem about 2" too long.
The 18" looks way to floppy to me and the next size smaller is a 15" which is about an inch too short.
I could have them make a custom 16" set or get their adjustable straps.
My question is, Are the adjustable straps still NHRA legal ?

I run the adjustable straps
dreracecar:
You don't want them too tight, you want the blower to separate from the manifold. If there's room, you can cut and redrilled the bottom brackets
arush:
Appreciate your feed back Paul.
Bruce, I've got the brackets as low as I can get them. I agree that you want the blower to separate from the manifold if things go south but as of right now it could lift about 3".
Do you feel that is excessive ? Whats your opinion of the adjustable ones and do you know if they are NHRA legal?
dreracecar:
2/3 inch's is standard, as long as the straps are date code tagged they are legal
arush:
Thanks Bruce. Happy New Year....
