Default window net with out death spear into your noggin

it seems 9 out of 10 window net kits ive seen at the track and in pictures...the front upper connection (closest to the windsheild) is just a death trap waiting to blast through your head if the window net is not actually being used at the time. i just redid my cage and dont want to bang my head on that stupid thing anymore so im looking for new ideas. anybody have any pictures...and/or reccamend any particular mounting kit?

Might look like it's way in the way, but it's really not. I haven't hit my head yet, and it swings out of the way nicely and clips on quick and easy.

hey tony is that a kit or peices you just used...i like the way that mounts to the door bar, kit i used this year was a pain...if you wernt carfull getting in you could bang your ******** on it pretty easily.

hell it looks just like little tabs and bolts and a rod you bent.

last night i finished most of my cage just need to do the door bars, window net, poop chute puller thingy and the d bars... i havnt seen any good clear info on the d bars yet..how they have to be mounted and what not...i gotta go thumb through the nhra stuff again and see if i can find some more info on it

my buckle is up higher so it doesn't hang down low were you might hit your head. I'll try to put my pics up.

On the car I am building up. Steen welded the buckle to the cage and the noggin killer on the net bar. Just reverse the two and no more problems.

i think you should have this figured out already joe, but if you still need ideas, here is the red car if you didnt notice in person:



the seatbelt buckle is welded to the roof hoop, and the tab is part of the window net hanger.

When unbuckled, what direction does it swing to get out of the way?

if you are asking me, when unbuckled, it slides forward, and can be tucked all the way down. basically you can wrap it around the door bar out of the way. hope that explains it.

I meant the upper bar, but I guesss it stays there? I'm not sure I'm understanding how it works I guess.

Both bars are completely stationary and only unbuckles to allow the net to go on and off?

nah look at the end opposite the buckle. the rod slides into a welded tab about 1.5" - 2" when you unbuckle it, it slides out of the tab and drops down.
