If you have any pictures of your installs can you please post them up. I am looking for ideas for both the bottom and top bar install/removal. Thanks! Mike

Using a angled net with a rod that follows the shoulder bar. It just slides into a section of small diameter tubing on my lower bar. home of the Sox and Martin Hemi Duster

You said you had small diameter tube but what holds the bar in place? this is not my net but an example of using an angle over the square net. this one uses the verticle bar and none across the top. most square nets use a cable to secure one end to the shoulder bar.the are a pain and somehow always getting tangled or in the way You can secure one end with a simple push pin or even a hood pin. home of the Sox and Martin Hemi Duster

As far as position I have read that the net must go forward at least to the rearmost part of the steering wheel. I don't remember where I read that but it's in one of the rule books. I'll hunt for a reference.

Window net must be securely mounted on the inside of the roll cage, with the permanent attachment at the bottom. All attachment points must be designed in an attempt to protect the driver and avoid contact with track surface or guardwall. Eyelet clips, dogleash hardware, hose clamps, etc. prohibited . Penetration of webbing, except as performed by manufacturer, prohibited. Any modification to net must be performed by manufacturer. A ribbon type window net does not expire, unless it is torn or battered. but if you have a cgae and your car is slower than the rules mandate having a cage you can skip the net. home of the Sox and Martin Hemi Duster

Net must extend forward to within two inches of the farthest back portion of the steering wheel." The big difference is in IHRA a cage is not required until under 9.0 seconds while NHRA is more strict at under 10.0 seconds. However those who run both must be aware of the differences. Currently in LA there are two IHRA tracks and only one NHRA track. Last edited by Blucuda413; 08/02/10 01:53 PM.

IF THE CAGE IS NOT REQUIRED I CAN'T SEE HOW THE NET CAN BE I was instructed that the cage (regardless of the cars ET) was the deciding factor on the window net. The cage (although not required)is in the car in preparation for the turbo engine in 2011. If time permits I'll install it as shown in the pics.

The rule clearly states: 6:3 WINDOW NET A ribbon-type or SFI Spec 27.1 mesh-type window net is mandatory on any full-bodied car required by the rules to have a rollcage. If your car is not required to have a rollcage, then it is not required to have a net (or a competition license, or anything else required by a 9 sec car) just because you installed a cage. Keep a copy of the rule book with you at tech. [image]http://s1126.photobucket.com/user/nhramark1/library/Racing[/image] 9.100 @ 150 mph 5.780 @ 120 mph

I just wanted pics on how people installed their units. I have a net and rods but no brackets. However, this item has moved to the bottom of the list since I now know it is not required. Thanks everyone for the information!
