Default Parachute Mount I made for my TT WS6
Here are a few pictures of my mount I made for my car. Just for info to others. Turned out pretty good I think. Mount weighs a total of 14lbs. All 4130 CM tube.

It's where the parachute cord attaches. Chute comes out of pack and is attached to a cord which is hooked at that bushing. So when chute is catching wind that's where it pulls pressure on car to slow it down.

I like it. Definitely been putting it to the test. It performs flawless so far. Welded on boats, chromoly, stainless, mild steel, and all is great. Stephen Eades on fb if your want some pictures lol.
