Parachute mount?

I was wanting to see if any of you guys with parachutes have any pics of your support on the car without the bumper on. I have a pretty good idea of how I'm going to build mine, I just wanted to see what some others have done.

If you've got pics post em up, even if they aren't on 4th gen's I'd like to see them.

Thanks!

I have the wolfe kit. I'm changing it around to accomodate dual chutes this year though

Here is the wolfe setup:

I just did a set of S & W Stocker wheelie bars on my car. We had to get rid of the sump in the back and the upper panhard bar. They didn't allow for any adjustment up or down on the bars. I get alot now. These are spring loaded and 48" long bars. They were definitely not the weld brackets on and bolt together like I thought they were going to be. Sorry for the dirty car. This car gets ALOT of laps put on it.

Sorry I don't have a picture with everything back on, but it's a very nice setup. Chute mount comes out through where the lisc plate area is.

Also, does anyone know if Burkhart ever came out with their rear bumper support/chute mount? I really need one that is removable.

Has anyone had a older style Simpson parachute deploy by bumping the cable at rear of the car or premature deployment.

Not a 4th gen. but mines just home maid, it has a pin set up to take it off for when I drive it on the street. There's a bar just under the tail lights that runs across the back, the bumper mounts to it, its also tied into the cage.
