Default CPR C7 parachute handle

For those on here that are into drag racing and trap 150+ in the 1/4 mile there hasn't been a good solution to the chute handle until now. We have seen people mount them to the roll bar and when they go to pull it the handle moves on the roll bar from the clamps not being tight enough. On our own shop car C7 we decided to make a better solution. This is a zero drilling into the car setup and mounts to the OEM studs in the floor to secure it, there is also a hook that slides under the center console for added rigidity. We make this in house on our CNC table and have it powder coated a nice texture black for long lasting good looks. They come standard with our Icon in there but for $100 we can something custom there. We have validated fitment with Tillets or Kirkys. OEM seats are to wide to properly mount it we feel. So you will either need to have a race seat or no seat for this to work. It does not include the billet handle and cable, but we can supply you with a complete kit if you are needing to get everything still. The mount is also based around the unit motion raceworks sells.

These are in stock and ready to rock! If you want a custom unit please email joe@cordesperformanceracing.com

Here's one we made for my wife's B'ville racer...

Dang, thought I had a better pic. But, in any event rather similar.

Joe, that is one nice piece of work and in the right place to pull the chute.
