Default Right side net

The right side driver net I bought is waay to short. What are you guys using for Corvettes? I need to go from behind the seat all the way to the front cross bar under the dash.

I'd prefer one that does not need to be welded in, and it must be NASA compliant (SFI 27.1). Are there any that use clamps that go around the cage bar instead of harness-style wrap around?

What about this one:

or this one:

I know this one works but it's expensive.

Thanks!

That's option 3 above.

So how do you attach it? Wrap around the main hoop in the back and front x-bar in the front? It's long enough to go behind the seat and attach to the vertical tube on the main hoop?

Thank's for chiming in, Jody. Carlyle mentioned an old post by you last year but I couldn't find it...

It comes with a long ratchet strap that goes around the bar under the windshield. That strap has a steel grommet on it. The net has a safety buckle on it that clips into that grommet. The rear part of the net goes around the seat belt bar and the hoop. I'll find the photos of mine and post them this evening.

David Farmer installed mine so he can give you more insight. I know he preferred the Safety Solution to the Simpson model.

Just bought one from Apex Performance. Thanks much for the info.

If the install is straightforward then no need to post pictures, but if there's anything tricky and you have time to post then I'd much appreciate it.

Turns out my company does all the crash testing for Safety Solutions, I guess I need to find out who worked with them and get some free stuff...
