[QUOTE="David Hester, post: 9330084, member: 6794"] Or it is a righthand drive car, but I think you are right.... no pun intended. From NASA Club Competition Rules 15.6.7 Diagonal Brace [I]One (1) diagonal brace shall be used in the same plane as the main hoop. The diagonal should be one continuous path; meaning that it must conform to Diagrams 15.6.7a or 15.6.7b. Note- If the installation method from Diagram 15.6.7b is used, the builder should pay close attention to alignment. One end of the diagonal brace shall attach to the corner, or horizontal part, of the main hoop [B]above the driver’s head[/B], within twelve (12) inches of the driver’s-side corner. The other end of the diagonal brace shall attach to the mounting plate (or to the main hoop as close to the mounting plate as practically possible) diagonally opposed to the driver’s head (passenger floor).[/I] Another consideration on fit, You want the main hoop out as far as possible (close to, if not actually touching, the doorsills remember the "L" mounting to the floor and sill? ). This main loop not only protects in a rollover, but is also all you have to protect in a side impact....Much more likely than getting on your head. If the main hoop attaches in a plane INSIDE the plane of your seat (Note the bulge needs to be wider than the seat) your arm/ ribs/head are going to take the hit before the bar.... [/QUOTE]
