I'm installing a right side net. Thought I'd share some pictures.

Jerome951 did this first and gave me some pointers...

First I made a hole behind the fresh air blower under the hood (luckily I had a drill extension that I could use with a step drill bit (step drills are great - and I recommend everyone get a set))



Now, one of the challenges, was to cut away part of the heater/defroster air box so I could get to the hole I just made in the firewall. Using a router type bit in my drill helped me cut enough of an opening:



Then I was able to wiggle the eye bolt in (I'd already threaded the webbing through it) and get a fender washer and nut on the back side:



And, finally, I took the vanes out of the right side of the vent and put the dash back together:



The ratchet will be used to tension the net.

 

Sweet dude. Classy install.

 

pardon me but, what is this for?

 

right side net.



Required in most sanctioning bodies.

 

could you go into more detail as to what its for... like y would you need that net in your car?

 

The right-side net will protect me (mostly my head) in the event of a right side impact. It will also help support the back of the seat, which will help preventing it from breaking in a rear impact.

It's a track thing.

 

oh ok... thanks for the explanation.
