Default BMR or Wolfe rear parachute setup?

LastLS1 said that BMR sells a parachute mount setup, I can't find it on their website?

I was going to have my chassis guy fab some up. I was not sure if there was any interest. I was thinking bolt up were the bumper support used to be and coming out the Licence plate hole in a way that would not hurt the Licence plate or the cover.

I don't mind folks teasing, I am one of the guys that kind of encourages smack talk.

Ellis, that's where I am at. I want one that comes out just above the license plate, not in the middle of it. Actually I asked Wolfe if they could do that, and it sounds possible. Show of hands if anyone else would be interested? Maybe just above the license plate?

Funny, I asked Wolfe the same thing and never got a response back? I got to dress up in a banana suit to get some respect huh?

I was talking to David at Wolf about having the chute come out right above the license plate, so I will ask him on Monday to for sure make me one, let's see where this goes.

all you need to do is get a license plate frame from and older car that folds down, then you fold the plate down when you put the chute mount assembly on the car, you make it so it slips into a tube and bolts in....

i dont have any pics cause there all on my fathers computer at his house... its a simple deal and you dont have to cut the bumper or plate..

putting your chute tether that high up might be a bad thing. It may try to lift the back wheels off the ground when the chute first deploys...
