Parachute mounts that don't interfere w/ license plate? Are there any examples of how one might mount a chute so it doesn't interfere with license plate?

I am really intrested in that setup, it would run about $600-$700?
Even if its a one-off job I would be intrested in getting one made.

Let me work out the details with Stenod on what the cost would be and I'll get back to you. The largest cost is the parachute itself. Would you be cool with mounting the handle yourself or having a local shop weld it to your cage or wherever you want it?

Just let me know when you get the cost worked out, I should have cash in hand in a week or two for this, or i can send a smaller deposit on a kit once you get it worked out.

Yes. A single bolt at the bottom holds the chute and bracket. Two very small bolts are at the top. There are two small brackets that you need to rivet to the plastic rear piece to support it. So, when it's removed you would have to look real hard to find the tabs. That's the only thing that would be visible. I'll try to find a picture for that. The only remaining thing is to pull the chute cable into the car somewhere when you have it removed and drilling the hole where you want that to come out. We drilled the hole in Kevin's car so that it came out under the passenger side tail light, where the body meets the light.

get a flip down plate mount from an older car[i.e. nova] and you just lay it down slide chute in, and remove when driving,very simple very cheap
when the rear bumper is on, the bigger tube ends at license plate ,,then alls you have to do is flip plate down,and slide in chute mount, we do the same thing on C5,s,and than you not altering your plate which is illegal here in new york,ill get pic with bumper on as its on now,bob

I talked to Stenod about it over the weekend. He's going to dig himself out this morning and hopefully be able to look at this today. I just talked to him to remind him as well.
