my thinking for the pushbar/parachute mount is to have the Central point be where the gas fill used to be. that mount will be for the pushbar as well as an intergrated mount for the parachutes lanyard. i'll be running 2 chutes and mount each chute between each bank of taillights and lic. plate mount. any thought?
The center of gravity height which cam height on a pushrod V8 is suposed to be close. On the 222 car the parachute mount
is about 2 in. higher which puts it in line with center of chute when opened. Our lines come out near top of bumper but still in bumper [about 11/2 in. hole] and are mounted with a 5/8 bolt from brackets off frame. Actually steel cables [used to know a boat rigger] for bolt then attached to chute lines one line next to other.
Our engine is low so each car is different.
jl222, can you show me a pic of your set-up? 
Bvillercr might be able to next weekend. But I'll try to explain, there are 4 brackets 1/8'' thick welded to tube rounded on ends and fitted to tube, like this | | | | spacing is about 1'' between brackets and 3'' in middle, then they braced top and bottom of each outside bracket similar to how SCTA wants the roll bar bracing. Brackets are 23/4 deep overall, less to middle of tube. bolt goes thru middle of brackets Metal tube goes thru body and bumper and two steel cables go through tube through chute
lines and back to bolt
Cables with ends for bolt, made up by boat rigger.
Pro Chassis then ran braces from outside brackets back to another bar.
Cables mount in middle 3'' section.
