Default Window Net Install Kit

I need some help picking a install kit. I am looking for a removeable one. Also I have a 10-pt cage as pcitured below. Can anyone recommend a good one?

About 12-15 years ago, a friend who helped with Tech at NHRA-member tracks told me that Glendora gave drivers the option of having a window-net, OR using arm-restraints, holding the elbows against the torso (like open-cockpit drivers use ):
I don't know if that is still an option, or if that interests you, but it is something to consider.

I was thinking the same thing, maybe for autocross but not NHRA/IHRA.

NHRA legal to 13.49 only if you were at my track.
If you leave the top on maybe the tech inspector won't catch that the top is removable.
My coupe has a 10 pt cage with window net and arm restrants ,but I run in the 10's never remove my top,chassis is certed to 8.50.

I do not have any more pics of the cage handy right off hand. The top bars do have bolts there, but all the other parts are welded. The 5th and 6th point bars are solid and welded to the frame along with the bars in the rear section. Bandimere has its start of the season tech inspection here in a couple of weeks, so I will out there. The shop where the car is currently at feels the cage should be OK.
