CarbonWest - Chris Broster - Bristol & Bath AO Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Hi all, Now that we are back on track I have a concern- tow straps? Mine is Road 90%/Track 10% so need to manage both situations? What have you got and where is it best fixed - Front/rear? Permanent/Temporary? Show me yours please?

TAFKARM Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Lots of people just use the roll bar / cage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 i am just making a new one... currently use my cage if needed.. but making a plate with a steel wire hoop and it will mount using the two M6 bolts that hold the lower nose cone plate mounting on... It is lightweight but hopefully wont have to use too often! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure that will be strong enough if you’re buried in the gravel though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Hehe.. With the two M6 bolts holding the nose cone bracket on.. Minimum added weight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rory's Dad Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Pulling it sideways might be a problem but as you said the cage would make a good substitute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Hi Martin hope you keeping ok.. Yes side load could be an issue.. Will just have to keep it on the track!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weathers Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I have a loop welded onto the chassis at the front. Just need to remove the number plate for track days. Had it done when the chassis was being made at Westfield. That and an extra metal band across under the seats so the lower part of the 6 point harness can be fitted properly.
