Stan, I fully see your point and appreciate it. It's folks on here that point our potential "items of concern" that can save me time a stress later. Good points in your last reply, I have the same lugs in my parts bin, so I see your point. I have talked with Kiwi Steve a month or so back about a few Items where my car differs from the book. I am documenting the build quite extensively and making sure we are at or above the requirements in all areas (well except for my drivers door bar, which is unique to my needs, but combined with the other features of the cage and chassis and containment seat with head and shoulder supports, have been blessed so far)
Robbie, yep Lever seems to be the device of choice to deploy the chute...I have seen and used 3 ways in the past.. Lever, T Pull and Round Knob Pull. I will keep you posted.
