S197 Right Side Net

[DocB]

For safety, on an 08 Mustang GT track prepped car, I am in the process of adding a right side net. Going through the dash vent to the right of the gauge cluster, I would like to anchor it to the upper left-to-right cross bar, but am running into the duct work. With two races coming up real soon, I'd like to get this done without too much drama.
For those of you that have done this, how did you accomplish this and what are your suggestions. Info greatly appreciated.

From the FR500S:


I'd poke through the ductwork with a strap, assuming you're not deleting the ductwork. If you have one that loops through itself (and around the front bar) I think a wide slit would work and not loose too much air.

Do you still have the AC and ducting in-place?

You should pull all that stuff, if it's an option.

I used this net and looped it around the main cross-beam behind the dash. http://www.ogracing.com/simpson-safety-solutions-c5r-poly-driver-net



Please clarify what you're asking--I'm not quite certain here.

No A/C, but ducting in place. I'd like to just keep it for now.

Grant- That sounds like something I have been thinking about.
Will look to see if that is an option. If the strap is only going thriugh the ductwork and it is a straight shot to the cross bar, it should work.

AZ Boss- are you happy with the placement/location of that ratchet buckle? Do you use it frequently to tighten?

I am happy with the placement, as for tightening, it's basically "set it and forget it" with the seat moved all the way back.
It will have a little slack with the seat moved forward.
If you tighten it with the seat moved forward, it will impede your ability to move the seat back.

If you don't have a slider on your seat, no worries.
