Finishing the wiring and plumbing on my dads truck, and I do not have an NHRA rule book handy.

I was curious how they want you to fix the panel for ignition stuff & electrical acc? Can I put a bolt thru the cage or do tabs need to be welded on to fasten it too.

Interested in having you car wired? Drag car, street car, EFI swap? PM for details

If you drill a hole in the tube you need to weld a
tube into it.... tabs work fine

Slot the back panel of your control box and use hose clamps to fasten it to the cage.
It worked for me .

mine is mounted to the roll bar with 2 self tapping screws. roll bars are drilled for pop rivets and everything else. a screw to hold an electrical box isn't going to hurt a thing.

The cable tray is made by a company named Panduit and is available from electrical / electronics suppliers in different sizes . Mine`s built from odds and ends I had from previous jobs. The fuse block is from a 78 Volare' .
