My Stroud launcher chute came in.Also bought an install kit and cable kit.
Have to figure out the mounting situation for the launcher to be removable.The release lever is real chincey,should have grips like a pistol.
I think I want to mount the lever on the floor.Does it matter where it's mounted as long as I can reach it?? Seems that most of the pictures I see the lever is overhead work

In a car without a funny car cage, we fab a U shaped mount, attached to the center of the main hoop, and extending forward to mount the lever horizontally, right where the driver wants it, with an attachment for the cable. The lever is mounted where the driver can pretty much swipe it with his hand without having to look for it and the whole affair is kept up tight to the ceiling so the guy's not bashing his head against it. We use Morse cables and proper mounting hardware. Not the cheap stuff that comes with the kits.


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

CMallister,thank you.I found some other ideas also.But the chute mount with the launcher will prove more difficult!

FWIW on the Vette the handle is down on the console. It has T tops(well one piece of Lexan now)so it just looks better down low.

I looked at many pictures.It comes down to how you end up fabbing your mount.So this is how it ended up and it is detachable.
