Hey all,

Just wondering those with chutes, were abouts you attached them too?? on the cradle? and if so did you make brackets to go around the 4 wheel steer mechanism or attach it somewhere totally different altogether? Any Pics or Advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

John

I am going to attach the lanyard to where you have suggested, i have a lock bar in place. Mount the chute where it will be caught by the wind. If you have a wing on the rear you will have to mount it out further.

Thanks guys, more concerned about attaching the main line to the car..

I may make a bar between the rear chassis rails... dont really want to pay 500 bucks for midori rear steer arms so i can make mounts on the cradle..

Cheers buddy,

Yeah its a bit of everything really but ive done 127mph before with a bad launch, on 4 inch shit house front runners i dont want to be struggling to pull it up if it does something similar, its not only the extra power but the area under the power curve is heaps bigger with methanol.. just trying to consider all factors.. taking it to a t n t tomorrow though so it should be a good indication.,.

    • yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)
    • Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions
    • Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣
    • Is the toolbox that damaged the boot seal the same item that fell on the car during the storm a while back?
    • Who are you to deny yourself? I’ve said this many times to myself and apart from getting what I really want, I go quiet for a while whilst working out what I just did to my savings and how will I afford what it cost, then, next payday…
