just received my car back from the chassis shop and this is how they mounted my chute! they told me they mount all there chute this low.
has anyone see it this low? Will this cause any problems?
Thanks

 

I would have mounted it about a foot higher, but it should still work. If the chute hits the ground obviously it won't deploy as it should. Just watch for that.

Any chance you can bend the chute plate to point upward more?

 

i can give it a try they have the bar waled to that plate.
the rest of the cage looks awesome and they also got it certified for me to. I was just worried about the chute mount.

 

Hmmmm, yea thats on the low side. If they can move it up for you that would be ideal

 

since it has a helper chute, it should be fine. if it were a mechanical launcher chute, it would just hit the ground.

 

I would have them mount it higher... if there is a question about your safety then I would have them change it. It wouldnt be hard to make it higher.

 

I will give them a call and see hate to haul the car back up there and back!
I mean if its not gonna cause problems then im fine with it just never seen it mounted like this The anchor point is what really matters from what ive read.

 

anchor point is fine...

 

^^ okay so will it deploy okay?

 

tether point is good. as for the chute itself, like mentioned, it wouldnt hurt to mount the chute higher or maybe tilt it "more" so itll shoot up more when deployed, but it does help that its a helper chute. you can always try it out and a moderate pass and have someone at the finish line take a video

 

My shoot mount is low like that, not pulled it yet but have been assured it will be all good.

 

yea i might have to just make a moderate pass and see also!
Only other person ive seen has it real low is lopez also.

 

So long as you pack it right it will be fine. It only needs to get past the drag bubble to deploy.

 

thats gonna be the fun part packing it lol!

 

i have seen some this low..but the one my boy has is a lil higher...looks good thou btw

 

look at the stroud instructions, there is a picture showing not to mount it like this. I wanted mine low too but to do it right it needed to be higher. even that tag line seems low.

 

My anchor point is like yours but mounting is higher...

 

Yea I seen strouds instruction I figured they knew

 

Email stroud, they said it was too low and wouldn't inflate right and needs to be higher and at a 45* angle!
Thanks for the help!

 

Cool, glad you got it figured out!

 

Just a question what model cute did you get? This is a general question for everyone.

 

Stroud super comp here and I think that's what the OP has too IIRC

 

Every fabricator has a mind of his own, you gotta stay on top of those fools no matter how great they are at what they do. I know when i go to redo my roll cage i will be there every day of the work to make sure its meticulously done how i envision it otherwise ill just want to vomit.
