I made my mount out of aluminum tube with threaded rod going though it. There is a loop with a bolt on the chassis for the chute to attach to.

It is covered up by the bag once installed but you can still see it from the front of the car as you walk up on it if you look for it. At least I know it is there.

The tug on the bottom is for the pit vehicle tow bar.

Wrong picture of the push bar. I meant to attach this one from the side view.

Just watch where you mount the bar.. try to mount it
on the CG of the car so its neutral otherwise it can
lift the back of the car or the front when its dumped
